Developer launches latest title in its popular Knock Out series that sees skill and RNG gameplay combined for a thrilling player experience

Strange things have been happening at Green Jade Games ahead of the launch of the latest title in its unique Knock Out series, Alien K.O.

The game puts players at the controls of an alien spaceship, which has just touched down on an unsuspecting farm in the deep south of America.

The spaceship is hooked up to Green Jade’s Knock Out engine, which allows players to knock symbols out of the reels in order to create a cascade affect.

Players have a K.O. meter that sits at the right-hand side of the game window and displays how many K.O. charges they currently have, with a maximum cap of 10 charges.

Each charge allows for a single symbol knockout. Charges are earned by base game spins at the rate of five spins per charge.

A player’s K.O. charge amount is persistent to player session ID. So, if a player signs out and signs back in, they should start with the same amount of K.O. charges as when they last left the game.

The idea is to K.O. symbols to line up three Loot Box symbols horizontally to trigger the game’s bonus features, which include Free Spins, Instant Cash or a combination of the two.

The more Loot Boxes the player can align, the greater the prize they receive. Whether the prize is Instant Cash or Free Spins is determined at random.

If Free Spins are triggered, players can also take advantage of Sticky Wilds that appear while the bonus is active. If they land, they will remain in position for the duration of the bonus.

Mark Taffler, Chief Commercial Officer at Green Jade Games, said: “Our K.O series is proving to be incredibly popular with players as it combines elements of skill with RNG gameplay.

“The Alien theme has been incredibly well executed by our design team, and provides an engaging and entertaining game that players can return to time and again.

“These games really are unique and allow operators to acquire and retain players at scale, while also standing our from their rivals.”

Groove says it has passed 20,000 titles in its aggregated casino content library, delivered to partners via “one API” and managed through its Groove Command back office.

The company said the catalogue includes slots, instant win games, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style titles, plus “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” Groove added that the portfolio is now live and available to its partners worldwide.

Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said the company focuses on curation rather than chasing volume: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” Says Tourgeman. “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”

Groove said recent integrations include KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it described as offering “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” The company said the additions were assessed for technical compatibility and “commercial distinctiveness.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, positioned the milestone as part of a broader platform pitch: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” said Meltzer. “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement. It says that Groove has become the default engine for operators who want to move fast, compete smart, and never compromise on content depth. But we are not stopping here. The next 20,000 will be even more selective, more integrated, and more aligned with where player behaviour is heading. Volume without curation is noise. We are building a signal.”
