Candy Tower game review

Theme and Storyline

Immerse yourself in a whimsical fantasy land surrounded by desserts and sweets with Candy Tower. The game is themed around colourful candy and players will try to snag as many matching clusters as they can on a reel of brightly-hued hard candies. The game is a great pick for players looking for an upbeat atmosphere and fantasy aesthetic. Some fruit machine and gem slot fans may especially appreciate the plentiful colours and tempting treats.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics and music combine to create a fun fantasy atmosphere in Candy Tower. The background is a chill tune punctuated with beeps that adds a touch of sci-fi sensibility to the vibe. Players can easily mute the soundtrack but many will enjoy the relaxing music. The reels spin with a light click and wins are celebrated with bells and chiming to keep the festive mood. Beside the reels, a personified cupcake watches the gameplay and cheers when players win. This character adds a friendly touch and their cherry hat makes them particularly cute. Behind the reels, players will see a stack of pancakes and a slice of cake as tall as buildings. The imaginative animation of this candy world encourages players to let out their inner child. The reels themselves are filled with candies in a range of shapes and colours including red hearts and violet flowers making it easy to imagine these sweets having mouthwatering fruity flavors.

Gameplay

Candy Tower is a six reel, five row slot where wins are awarded for landing 7 or more matching symbols in a cluster. For symbols to be part of a winning cluster, they must be connected horizontally or vertically.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. During the base game, the Wild symbol will land on reels 2, 4, and 6 but on reels 1-6 during the Free Spins feature. Wild symbols are allowed to be part of more than one winning cluster, and they may also pay when not part of any group. The Wild Drop feature may be triggered at random and will drop between 3 and 10 Wild symbols onto rows 3-5. Set numbers of matching symbols will activate several boost features that include expanding symbols, extra Wilds, cash prizes, and multipliers. The Scatter symbol may pay out anywhere on the reels. When players land 3 or more Scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is triggered, starting with 10 free games. Players receive 15 free games if they land 4 Scatter symbols, and 50 free games for landing 5 Scatter symbols. The Free Spins feature can be retriggered.
