Space Oddity Review

Space Oddity is a brand new slot from Spinmatic, taking players far into the deep space to discover extraterrestrial forms of life. During the cosmic adventure, players will benefit from plenty of features and have a chance to win a top prize of 2,000x of the bet.

Space Oddity - Outlook

The title Space Oddity originates from a David Bowie's song, with a title playing on the title of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey film. Oddly enough, no Major Tom is to be found to be in charge of the space mission for the slot conveys a very different ambiance. Set somewhere in an endless void, instead of a dark gloomy atmosphere, Space Oddity boasts a rather jolly cartoonish look.

The animations here deserve a special mentioning. Once you hit that 'spin' button, the spaceship rushes forward, knocking bizarre creatures on its way, which cling to the ship's windshield. Spinmatic has also done a great job in terms of the soundtrack since it fits the gameplay perfectly, capturing the enigmatic vibe during the base game, and picks up the tempo to add a touch of vim during the bonus features.

When it comes to the math model, it's the thing you can really rely on in Space Oddity. Playable on any device, the actions take place across a 5x3 grid with 20 ways to play. It's that type of slots with an exceptionally high payback percentage for the RTP is 97.12%, which is way above the average level. Paired with a low-medium volatile math model, the slot promises to be quite generous. To spin the reels placing bets from 0.2$ to 80$ per spin is required. What is most impressive is the maximum potential, which is remarkable for a such volatile slot. Players can hope for a whopping win of 2,000x of the bet, which is 160,000$ on a single spin when playing with the max bet option available.

As we head over to the paytable we see a bunch of weird-looking aliens, making up the regular-pays, alongside a couple of space objects, including stars and meteors.

There are 9 aliens in total, all of the different shapes, colors, and expressions. Helping you to form winning combos is the star Wild symbols, substituting any other regular symbols. It's also the most valuable symbol among the regulars, so keep an eye for it.

Space Oddity - Bonus Features

Surprisingly, there are a lot of things to do in a vast space except holding scientific researches. Players here will benefit from a wide variety of features, so let's lay everything out in order.

On any spin during both the base and the bonus game meteor symbol can appear anywhere on the grid. They are bonus symbols, and once one land onto the reels, it reveals a random cash prize of up to 25 times the bet. It's possible to land multiple meteors on the single spin.

As alluded to earlier, stars are Wilds here. All of them land with a random multiplier attached to them to multiply all winning combos they take part in by either 2x, 3x, or 4x. Landing a full line of Wilds will lead to a massive payout equal to the top value symbol multiplied by the highest multiplier, namely 100x of the bet.

In case two or more Wilds substitute for any regular symbol, only the one highest multiplier will be applied.

Should 2 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view, the Free Spins feature will be activated. During the bonus game, all star Wild symbols landing on the grid become Sticky for the duration of the feature. The number of spins given is equal to the number of triggering Scatters, so the more you manage to land, the more spins you'll get.

Space Oddity - Verdict

Traveling throughout the universe with the Space Oddity slot seems fun indeed. Spinmatic did a great job of developing this one, skillfully mixing cartoonish visuals, engaging features, and space alien theme, 'seasoning' it with a decent math model and tasty payouts. It undoubtedly has all chances of taking an honored place in the niche among other space-inspired hit slots.

However, low-volatile action and relatively low maximum potential may not win everyone's heart, so those who appreciate something more brutal and high-paced may consider trying Reactoonz 2 by Play'n Go, also focusing around bizarre aliens. Otherwise, if you don't feel yourself like a hardcore slot enthusiast who chases jackpots like a hound that catches a scent, you are likely to love Space Oddity.
