Theme, Design & Music
As the name suggests, Thunder Birds: Power Zones features a bird theme, which resembles the angry birds’ films. The cartoonish style graphics are bright and fun, and the grid features electrical lines on which the colorful birds are sitting. Each time you achieve a win, the electric lines fry a bird. The background shows a peaceful, bright blue sky with a green landscape. The music playing through the game is light-hearted to match the overall theme.
Special Features
Thunder Birds: Power Zones comes with 3 unique features:
Collapsing Wins Feature
The feature is triggered during wins, and all symbols making up the winning combo are removed from the reels. New icons then fall from above, filling up the empty positions on reels and continue as long as you win.
Free Games Feature
The feature is activated by hitting at least egg symbols. You will receive 8-10 free spins for 4-6 such icons. A chicken multiplier can land during the feature with a 2x to 100x value.
Power Zones Feature
There are 16 power zones at the beginning of each spin. Each win will fry a bird immediately, adding a drumstick to the meter, which is on the left of the grid. When you get 4 drumsticks, the number on the reels increases by 1 and activates the feature. The power zone is then placed in the middle of the reels taking up 4 by 4 positions.
