Bouncy Bombs Gameplay & Design

Bouncy Bombs flips us back to Hacksaw Gaming’s light-hearted side, where a bunch of adorably squishy, mushroom-shaped characters welcomes us with open arms into their ripe forest home.

One particular resident keeps us company to the right of the reel set, occasionally blowing kisses and jiggling around. The background is set in the middle of a magical forest, featuring bursts of beautiful metallic colours, with a couple of the locals bobbing along the path, happy as Larry.

Bouncy Bombs is a 6×5 Video Slot, playable from £.€0.10 per spin, up to a maximum bet size of £.€100 per spin. Simply flick through the multiple betting options until you find one that is suitable for your budget.

Bouncy Bombs Special Features

In this part of the review, we will be getting a taste of what’s available to us in terms of Special Features. Besides the Avalanche feature, Bouncy Bombs is also kitted out with special Bomb Multipliers, as well as a Bonus Buy option.

Bomb Multipliers

During a game round, 1 of 3 Bomb Multipliers can appear in a drop at random. These will only activate at the end of a game round, so long as one win has occurred during that time. Bomb Multipliers will be added together and applied to the total win amount for that game round.

• Regular Bombs – Reveals x2, x3, or x4 values.
• Revealing Bombs – Appears with a question mark attached to it, meaning the Multiplier value will be revealed when it explodes (x5, x10, x25, x50, or x100)
• Cascading Dynamite Bombs – Appears with a random value of x5, x10, x15, x20, or x25. The bomb’s value will Double during each Avalanche feature.

Bonus Buy

Those with access to the Bonus Buy option will be able to participate in up to 5 Bonus Buy options.

• Bonushunt Featurespins – 3x your bet.
• Normal Featurespins – 25x your bet.
• Revealing Featurespins – 75x your bet.
• Bombastic Bonus – 100x your bet.
• Bombastic Fantastic Bonus – 200x your bet.

Bouncy Bombs Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

As previously noted in the Bonus Buy option, Bouncy Bombs is fitted with 2 bonus rounds; Bombastic Bonus and Bombastic Fantastic Bonus. These are triggered when 3 or 4 ‘yummy’ Scatters land during the base game respectively.

Bombastic Bonus

3 Yummy Scatters grants you instant access to the Bombastic Bonus, awarding 10 Free Spins. During this round, there is an increased chance of activating the mechanics of the base game. Landing 2 or 3 Scatters awards an additional +2 and +4 Free Spins respectively.

Bombastic Fantastic Bonus

4 Yummy Scatters grants you instant access to the Bombastic Fantastic Bonus, awarding 10 Free Spins. During this round, 1 of 3 Bomb Multipliers is guaranteed to land with every spin. Landing 2 or 3 Scatters awards an additional +2 and +4 Free Spins respectively.

Pros and Cons of Bouncy Bombs

Cons:

• Bomb Multipliers are very hit-and-miss, and it can be somewhat difficult to achieve the higher Multiplier values.

Conclusion

Bouncy Bombs checks all the satisfaction boxes when it comes to gameplay, visuals and sound. The twilight theme here is mystical enough that it draws some attention, but the familiar gameplay may be the reason players stay.

Bouncy Bombs has striking similarities to the likes of Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play, yet we’d say the use of bombs (and different types of them) diversifies the gameplay. In typical Hacksaw fashion, there are two bonus rounds, one of which is the improved version. The Bombastic Fantastic Spins is the chase, and with a guaranteed Bomb on every spin it can quickly make itself known as a substantial contender in the crowded scatter pays genre, and a potential favourite to many players.

The lack of a total win multiplier would have made it better, yet Bouncy Bombs is still capable of up to 10,000x the bet. This figure is in line with other Hacksaw titles, and quite attractive indeed.

Overall, Bouncy Bombs isn’t a slam dunk release from Hacksaw Gaming, but it’s a nice offering and a pleasant change of pace.
