Introduction

PG Soft slots are great at creating their own little universes to give context to their slots. For The Great Icescape, we learned that the baby penguin was minding his own business when a huge icy gust of wind blew him away and trapped his friends in ice! Your mission in this slot is to free the penguin’s friends by finding matching symbol combinations that will smash through the ice blocks, offering you more ways to win and giving the penguin the chance to be reunited with his friends!

As with most slots, winning combinations pay along a payline starting from the far-left reel and can take place in this slot in any of the 1,325 winning ways. That said, there is a catch, and that’s that three symbol spaces in each corner of the slot are blocked by solid ice that only matching symbol combinations can remove.

There are no Wilds or Scatters in this slot, so players are fully reliant on the many winning ways to help them land successful symbol combinations.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The soundtrack in this slot is perfect for the sort of mission we’re being sent on. Equally charming and upbeat whilst adding to the suspense of the game, it’s a great choice. The game only appears in portrait mode, being designed solely for mobile play, even when accessed on desktop.

The reels themselves look out over the icy tundra, with blocks of ice filling the background and reels. The penguin’s friends are seen trapped in some of the ice blocks that make up the symbols, each showing a surprised expression as they were caught off guard and trapped. The sweet cartoon-style animations and personable characters do a great job of building emotion here, as you won’t be able to resist trying to help them out!

Bonus Features

The aim of this game is to smash icy blockers to release baby penguin’s friends and increase the number of available winning ways in the game. Blockers are destroyed by lining up matching combinations, with one blocker being destroyed for every winning symbol. You’ll receive a free respin for every winning combination, with more blocks being destroyed every time you win.

It’s not all easy going, though! Because it’s so cold in the penguin’s home, any time you don’t land a winning combination all 12 ice blocks will instantly grow back.

Bonus Respins

Once all the ice blocks are out of the way, you’ll trigger the Bonus Respins round, starting with one extra life and a 2x Multiplier. Every winning combination during the bonus respin will entitle you to another respin. What’s more, collecting blue symbols in winning combinations will increase the available Multiplier, while purple symbols will go towards an extra life which can be used to prolong the respins if you don’t land another winning combination.

Conclusion

Overall, we really enjoyed The Great Icescape. The characters were well designed, and we couldn’t resist wanting to help the baby penguin and his friends! The soundtrack and graphics added to the storyline brilliantly, and the removal of ice blockers really made us feel like we were on a mission (almost reminiscent of Candy Crush).
