If you’re into a combination of wacky, cute, and avian in your slot game, then BetSoft’s Birds! is the 2016 release that you have been waiting for.In a perfect position to capitalise on the recently released Angry Birds movie, whether intentionally or otherwise Birds! is poised to take full advantage of a current trend.Whilst it has a traditional 5×3 structure, Birds! has brought a unique aspect to its gameplay by essentially doing away with the concept of spins.
Design and theme
It is this original approach that is the most noticeable aspect of the design of Birds! Instead of the reels spinning, the birds on the reels fly away, and a new 15 birds fly in and land on the wires that represent the rows.This means that the effect is the same as if you had spun reels, but the execution feels entirely different.The soundtrack is cute and fluffy, like every other aspect of this slot, and obviously there are some sporadic bird sounds incorporated as well.The birds are all stunningly produced, and each symbol has its own personal animation that you will see when a winning line lands on the reels.
Gameplay
This game enjoys what would be called a cascading reels feature if the reels spun, in that when you land a winning combination, those symbols will fly away and those above them will drop down a level, with the open spaces then being replaced by other birds.The best feature to look out for here is the Free Flights (like free spins, get it?) feature, which can offer you unlimited free spins if the cascading winning combinations continue in a chain, obviously this can lead to some very big wins.Cute, unique, and with excellent gameplay features, Birds! is a top quality game all round.
