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.
