Zap Attack

We can all agree that aliens are one of the mysteries that puzzle us every day, leaving us with more questions than answers. Therefore, creating something revolving around space and aliens is not an easy job, but the Zap Attack slot by iGaming developer Thunderkick does just that in one amazing package.

An online slot game based on sci-fi aliens may sound overwhelming at first, but we promise this one keeps it simple, from the reels to the gameplay itself. The grid uses a 5x5 layout, which remains as it is even in the bonus game, with no expanding reels or anything of that sort.

For both the base and bonus games, 25 paylines are available. Symbols include a Green Alien, a Sheriff and a Waitress. While alien invasions are associated with abductions and interstellar travel, this one chooses the lucrative route, providing a maximum win of up to 5,000 coins. Free Spins and Expanding Multiplier Wilds are some of the bonus features you will explore in this encounter with the aliens.

From Expanding Wilds to Multipliers and Free spins, the Zap Attack slot game doesn’t miss when it comes to bonus features.

The UFO is the Wild symbol in Zap Attack and it comes in two forms. It can act as a standard Wild symbol standing in for other symbols in the base game to make winning combos and it can also act as an Expanding Wild. If you land the Expanding Wild within a winning line, it will grow and cover the entire reel. In addition to expanding, it can also add a Multiplier of up to 5x to any wins that it is part of.

To activate the Free Spins round, you need to land three, four or five TV symbols. Seven free spins are awarded for three Scatters, 11 free spins are awarded for four and 15 free spins are awarded when you land five Scatters. If two to five TV Scatters are in view during the bonus game, you win an extra three to nine free spins.

In the Free Spins round, the aliens take charge, using their ray guns to zap the four human characters, including the Sheriff, Waitress, Grandma and Farmer, transforming them into aliens once they are hit 10 times.

Each time one of the 4 premium characters is transformed, an extra Free Spin is awarded. Most importantly, as more humans are transformed into aliens on the reels, the chances of a significant win increases as some of the aliens can land carrying wild multipliers with them.

Winning on the Zap Attack slot game requires matching three symbols or two of the highest-paying Alien symbol on any of the 25 fixed paylines. Wins occur from left to right on consecutive grids. The number 10, J, Q, K and A are the low-paying symbols. They pay between 1 to 1.5 coins for five of a kind. The high-value symbols include the four human characters, and the Alien symbol awards 10 coins for five of a kind. The regular Wild symbol, which helps complete wins, substitutes for all other symbols except the TV Scatter.

The Zap Attack slot background is a rocky town setting with the 5-reel and 5-row grid appearing at the centre of the screen. At the top right, you will see a three-bar menu button that contains more information about the slot. Below the menu, there is also a volume button that turns the soundtrack on and off. At the bottom of the reels are displays for your cash and payout, as well as autoplay and buy feature buttons.

The bet button, also at the bottom of the reels, allows you to set your preferred stake. Once your stake is configured, you hit the circular spin button at the side to start the action. The Zap Attack online slot is mobile compatible, so you can play it on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet device.

The Zap Attack video slot is set in a fictional town named Roswealth, and true to its name, it has wealth and riches hidden within. The backdrop is a desert with UFOs visible in the distance. This sci-fi alien-invasion theme features comic book-style art, with spaceships dropping more green aliens into the small town.

This Thunderkick slot has a vibe that may seem scary on paper, but thanks to the cartoon-styled characters, it’s more childlike than properly scary. Don’t let the eerie soundtrack scare you away. Prepare to immerse yourself in an extraterrestrial experience, especially when the aliens arrive in the bonus game with guns blazing to convert the premiums into more lucrative payouts. The Zap Attack video slot was launched on 13 September 2023.

Thunderkick also offers Spectra, The Rift and Jin Chan’s Pond of Riches online slot games.
