Zillion Games - Gems Sky Interview

Q.Your new release called Gems Sky is bursting with shimmering gems, glowing castles, and magical skies — it feels like a fantasy dream came to life! What triggered the idea for this dazzling new world?

A: After more than 50 games, we wanted to create something visually stunning — a game where the main focus is on a bright, captivating anime heroine. She’s truly beautiful, and we knew she could grab players’ attention from the first glance. The idea was to make her more than just a symbol — she reacts to the player, comes to life in animations, and becomes part of the gameplay. It’s our most detailed character so far, and she brings a fresh emotional layer to the experience.

Q.From floating hearts to radiant colors, the visuals are pure eye-candy. Was there a specific mood you wanted players to feel as they spin through the castles?

A: Yes, we wanted Gems Sky to stand out with sparkling gameplay and vibrant elements - to make a bold, colorful entrance into spring. Our goal was to create a visually uplifting experience that delivers bright emotions to our players, most of whom are men. The glowing hearts, radiant castles, and playful animations are all designed to capture attention and spark a sense of fun from the very first spin.

Q.What gameplay mechanics make Gems Sky stand out in such a competitive market?

A: We combined proven features that keep players engaged: the Wheel of Fortune with jackpots motivates longer sessions, Wandering Wilds and Free Spins add variety, and the Hold and Ring mechanic encourages higher bets.

Q.That’s a full-on fireworks show of features! With so much packed into one game, would you say Gems Sky is getting close to the ultimate recipe for a “perfect slot”?

A: We’re still on the journey to find the perfect slot. In today’s fast-paced iGaming world, capturing player interest is more challenging than ever. But we’re constantly analyzing data - from spin counts to total bets, to understand what works. Based on those insights, we keep mixing features and refining our approach. Gems Sky feels like we’re getting really close!

Q.If players could fly away with one feeling after playing Gems Sky, what would you want it to be?

A: I’d want players to stay in the slot, thinking, “This is it- the perfect one.” That feeling of not wanting to leave, of being completely drawn in by the experience. That’s the emotion we aimed to create.

Gems Sky blends player-focused mechanics, showing Zillion's dedication to developing the "perfect slot". Character details, overall slot design, and thoughtful features like jackpots, Wandering Wilds, and Hold and Ring make this release stand out in the studio's collection. It's releases like this that keep us excited for the future of iGaming. We thank Kseni for the lovely chat and look forward to what Zillion brings next.
