PG Soft releases uplifting Skylight Wonders title
Reading Time: < 1 minute
PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has released its uplifting game, Skylight Wonders.
Skylight Wonder welcomes players aboard a hot air balloon traversing across a dreamlike world high above the clouds. There are increasing multipliers and three reel frames that transform winning symbols into Wild symbols. The three reel frames are on the second row of the third column, the fourth row of the second column and the fourth row of the fourth column.
The 5×5 frame is woven into the balloon’s envelope and is populated with glistening gemstones to deliver a serene gaming experience. A calming soundtrack puts players at ease as they take on the adventure high above the ground.
In the main game, if a winning symbol appears on top of any reel frames, that winning symbol will be transformed into a Wild symbol for the next round. At the start of any main game spin, the multiplier is set at x1. If one or more winning combinations hit, the win is paid and the new symbols cascade down, the multiplier increases by one.
Free Games will trigger when three, four or five Free Spin symbols appear – awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.
The feature begins with the multiplier set at x2, and it increases by +2 after each cascade that results in a win. Three or more Free Spin symbols landing anywhere during the feature will award an additional five free spins.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Skylight Wonders is a light, joyful, and fun game that invites players to join Hayrek aboard the Gemstone Balloon for one final mission. Favourable winds and courage will be the perfect companions on a journey to discover the treasures needed to craft a new future.”
