In recent years, online pokies developers have been working hard to outdo each other when it comes to creating new and innovative gaming formats and features. We are always excited to see something unique and exciting in the online pokie market, and Thunder Kick has presented the latest innovation with its game Fruit Warp. Fruit Warp turns the classic idea of ‘fruit machines’ on its head.
The game does not feature any actual reels. Instead, the fruit symbols simply float in the air. As the player spins the reels, the fruit flies away and more fruit appears. It is unlike anything we’ve ever seen from an online pokie before, as it most closely resembles an arcade game than a poker machine. When four-of-a-kind symbols appear on the reels, the player receives one respin.
This means that every other symbol disappears and new symbols replace them to help create new winning combinations. The game also introduces a new feature called Fruit Modes, which is triggered by a five-of-kind win. The background of the game corresponds to a different Fruit Mode.
For example, the orange background triggers the Fruit Mode for the Orange Fruit. Whenever Oranges appear during this Fruit Mode, they contribute to the multipliers meter at the bottom of the screen. The multiplier meter contains a number of generous multipliers and extra lives. When the player earns enough special fruit, they receive a multiplier.
Each fruit mode has different multipliers, and at least one spot on the metre is an ‘extra life’, which offers up an additional respin and multiplier. Fruit Warp is one of the most interesting and exciting online pokies to be released this month.
Thunder Kick is doing a fantastic job of churning out unique and innovative games, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
