For over a month, a week has not gone by in which we did not announce a new game from Thunder Kick. This online pokie developer is really making a name for itself in the gambling market by launching fun and exciting new games on a regular basis. This week, the company has released a new online pokie called Birds on a Wire. Like many of the new titles from Thunder Kick, Birds on a Wire features quite a unique format.
Rather than having a traditional set of reels that spins to reveal the symbols, the game is laid out in three rows of telephone wires. On each wire sits five birds of various colours and shapes. When you’re idle, the birds amble. They look around and ruffle their feathers – the whole thing is very cute. When you hit the ‘spin’ button, you move along the wire and more birds land on it.
Whenever you hit a winning combination, the birds get electrocuted and fall off the wire. Then, new birds fly in to take their places. The multiplier increases, and there is the chance to hit another winning combination. As you get more winning combinations, you get more respins and your multiplier can increase up to 5x. If more birds fly in and no winning combination is hit, then you go back to regular spins.
When three bird-in-a-box symbols appear on a payline, the player triggers the free spins game. The bird actually turns out to be a cat and all of the birds fly away to a new set of reels. On this set of reels, the base multiplier is 4x and the maximum multiplier is 20x. At the end of the free spins game, the player gets an Inwinity Spin – in which the reels continue to spin automatically until they get a win!
