Frutz review
Theme and Storyline
This is a fruit themed slot, but with a modern
twist.
Players will discover a reel surrounded by carefully- cut paper trees and
butterflies. This handcrafted aesthetic is novel and suggests a fantasy arts and crafts
world.
The fruit symbols stand out colourfully in their paper forest and players will
find their attention zeroing in on them. This is a great game for players looking for a
new take on a vintage fruit theme.
Graphics, Sounds and Animations
The soundtrack has a
quirky ‘80s mood that will bring to mind retro video games. It’s a cheerful tune, but
some players may tire of the upbeat chimes and hit the mute button fairly quickly.
The
framing of the reels immediately stands out with the silhouette of a forest crafted
from tactile-looking paper. Delicate butterflies have been carefully cut into the paper
forest, and every now and then their wings flutter as if the piece of art is coming to
life. Closer to the reels, the shapes of trees are cut from green paper, creating the
appearance of depth.
The reels themselves are full of fruit symbols that also seem to
be handcrafted. Classic red apples, purple plums and yellow lemons are all animated
careful folds as if they too have been made specifically for the game.
Overall, the
intriguing animation style and whimsical music combine to create the feeling of being
in a world entirely made of art.
