Vomiting Unicornsby Gluck Games

Screenshots

We all known unicorns as noble creatures of myth and legend who hang around enchanted forests waiting for virginal pure-of-heart maidens who are said to be only ones who can tame these creatures.

But myth and reality rarely match and here we have a game from Gluck taking a more realistic look at unicorns.

The unicorns of this game have long left the magical forests and streams and are now whittling their days drinking at the pub. And what do people after a night of hard drinking? They go for some greasy takeaway, and these unicorns have the same idea.

Theme

The game begins in earnest when the five unicorn friends are expelled from the local pub for behaviors that the game, and that’s probably for the best, doesn’t specify.

They are now in the back-alley and they are hungry. Luckily, all the symbols in the game are foodstuffs so at least the five down-on-their-luck friends will not starve.

Drinking? Late-night fast food binging? And there’s the title which is also the main gameplay mechanic.

The team at Gluck has exploited this tension between the colorful design of the slot and the darker implications to great humor.

One thing that’s also good is the designs of the five unicorns which are all distinct enough to feel like real characters and are infused with a lot of personality via high-quality animations.

Betting Options and Functions

The smorgasbord that the unicorns are eating out of is a 5x3 grid with thirty fixed paylines. 30 pence get you a spin on the lowest bet setting, while the maximum bet is 15 pounds.

Other options include quick spin with three different speed settings and autoplay were up to 100 spins can be played automatically with controls of win and loss amounts that should stop the feature from going on further.

Special Features

Our section title is always in the plural, but there is really only one special feature here. And it’s the vomiting thing. Yes, not the most glamorous inspiration for a special feature, but that’s what’s on offer.

It works like this:

On every spin, between one and five of the unicorns will dream of a certain randomly chosen food. If this food symbol appears on the reel directly below the unicorn, that unicorn will vomit rainbow down the reel and turn it into a whole wild reel.

And that’s all there is to it. On one hand, there’s something to say for the stunning simplicity and execution of the vision. On the other, not even extra spins? That’s a bit of a poor showing.

Our Take

So there you have it. A quite eccentric and weird take on the whole unicorn thing, in which vomiting is both the title and the main special feature.

It’s a strong vision, that’s for sure. And there’s obviously a lot of humor too. We just wish there was more than one special feature, though.
