Playing online games is therapeutic per se and if you factor in animated emoticons, then it becomes double the fun. Reactoonz is such, and it is crazily humorous. Launched on October 24, 2017, this slot game is from Play’n GO.

Reactoonz is the second installment of an aliens-inspired series, wherein the prequel is a 5-reel slot game called Energoonz. Energoonz has characters called Goonz while Reactoonz has Toonz, which is a truncation and corruption of the word cartoon. So, Reactoonz is all about reacting cartoons. Like in Play’n GO’s other game GEMiX, the Reactoonz player’s aim is matching between five and 15+ symbols clustered together, or forming both or either horizontal and vertical patterns.

Interact with Reacting Toonz
Reactoonz deviates from the 5X5 layout synonymous with the predecessor Energoonz. Instead, this high-volatility game has a 7X7 grid. The nine symbols in Reactoonz range from one-eyed to two-eyed to three-eyed aliens. First, there are four mono-eyed aliens represented by a diamond head, a pentagonal head, a Chianti bottle-like head, and a circular head. Second, there are four two-eyed aliens with a pink rounded pentagonal head, an emerald green head, a tangerine square head, and a blue rounded rectangular head. Lastly, there is a three-eyed semi-toothless alien with multiple horns.

Reactoonz loads and, first, informs players about its Giantooz and Quantum features. The players press “Continue” to usher in the emoticon-filled user interface, set the bet size, and click “Spin”. Unlike other Play’n GO slots like Super Flip and Spin Party, Reactoonz has neither adjustable coin values nor one to five coins. The lone pay line still functions like multiple lines because successful patterns drop downwards instantly to allow other potential combinations on the same game round. The minimum bet (and the lowest bet size) in Reactoonz is $0.20 while the maximum bet (and highest bet size) is $100. More bet sizes are $0.40, $0.60, $0.80, $1.00, $1.60, $2.00, $3.00, $5.00, $7.00, $10.00, $20.00, $40.00, and $50.00.

This listing, which depends on the bet size and in this case is based on the $100.00 maximum bet, shows the Reactoonz payouts for five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10+, 12+, and 15+ matches, respectively. First, the two-eyed aliens: the pink rounded pentagonal head pays $100, $200, $300, $500, $800, $2000, $5000, and $75000; the emerald green head has $80, $100, $200, $300, $400, $1000, $2500, and $30,000; the tangerine square head has $60, $80, $100, $200, $300, $500, $1000, and $15000; and the blue rounded rectangular head $50, $70, $100, $150, $200, $300, $500, and $7500.

The mono-eyed aliens have these payouts: both a diamond head and a pentagonal head have $15, $20, $40, $60, $80, $100, $300, and $1000; and both a Chianti bottle-like head and a circular head have $10, $15, $20, $30, $60, $80, $100, and $300. The Giantoonz is activated by four matches and, if it appears alongside 5+ winning combinations, instantly doubles regular winnings. Mono-eyed aliens, which are chosen randomly in every game, are the so-called “fluctuating symbols” and do boost winning chances as they can award players with two wilds to be considered in the subsequent round. The four-part Quantum (wild symbols-transforming Implosion, wild symbol-cutting Incision, the combinations-destroying Demolition, and symbols-transforming Alteration) can work in or against the player’s favor.

Reactoonz has a 91,406 coins non-progressive jackpot. The interface is user-friendly like the GEMiX one. The sounds are worldly and literally alien, including the gently snoring three-eyed alien, the exotic trilling and blips, and the “oonz oonz oonz”. The star-studded sky in the background and flying saucers-like transparent jars suggesting the aliens’ mode of transportation reflect an alien civilization, while the wildly gesturing emoticons remind of “Minions” film or “Despicable Me” series.
