The company's administrative headquarters are located in the Yıldırım district of Bursa, Turkey. The legal registration of the entity is held under Nirgün Yüksel, while technical management and studio operations are directed by Kerem Yüksel.

Gameplay Mechanics
[edit]Nebula Match utilizes a cosmic galaxy theme. The core gameplay loop centers on standard match-3 mechanics, where players align three or more identical space gems vertically or horizontally to clear them from the board. The game incorporates fast-paced arcade elements, enabling players to generate chain combos and earn in-game power-ups (boosters) to clear level-specific objectives.[3]
Classification
[edit]For international market compliance, the game is classified via the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) system. It is listed under file number CLAS-1140224 by the Australian Classification Board and is rated for general audiences (G, suitable for ages 3 and older).[4]
Technical Development and SVR Management
[edit]Following its initial release in early 2026, the studio implemented iterative updates to address technical performance and gameplay balancing. On March 2, 2026, the studio deployed version 1.2.3, which introduced several optimization changes:[3]
- In-Game Economy Stabilization: In-game diamond rewards tied to the achievements system were restricted to a single-claim limit per account to mitigate exploitation.
- User Interface (UI) Refinement: Technical hitches within the crate-opening animations were resolved, and the inventory screen layout was restructured into a three-column grid format to clarify skin previews.
- Monetization Adjustments: The ad-based revive mechanic within the game's "Adventure" mode was completely removed to optimize user retention and ensure smoother gameplay continuity.
Market Positioning and Business Model
[edit]Nebula Match operates on a free-to-play (F2P) business model, generating revenue through a combination of contextual advertisements and voluntary in-app purchases (IAP).[3] To establish a market presence within the highly competitive mobile puzzle genre, YUKS GAMES structured the application with a low storage footprint of 22.48 MB and full offline playability, targeting users in regions with limited hardware capabilities or restricted internet infrastructure.[5]
