Developed by Netent, Starburst Galaxy is a video slot that redefines conventional gameplay. It utilizes a 5×5 grid, which can expand to a 7×7 layout during special features, rather than relying on fixed paylines and standard reels. The game maintains a space theme reminiscent of its predecessor, featuring vibrant gems, "Bar" symbols, and golden sevens, all set against a cosmic backdrop accompanied by an ambient soundtrack. A notable aspect of the game is the Avalanche feature, where winning combinations cause symbols to disappear, allowing new ones to cascade in and create additional wins.
When a combination without Wilds vanishes, a Wild symbol appears in the center of that combination, substituting for other symbols to boost winning opportunities. The Feature Generator adds an exciting twist by randomly triggering one of five functions after every five consecutive wins, which can include symbol downloads, random wilds, expanding wilds, line transformations, or symbol upgrades. Upon the fifth activation of these functions, the Galaxy Star feature is initiated, expanding the grid to 7×7, introducing a 3×3 Wild, and allowing several regular wilds to reappear after evaluating wins.
Landing three scatters simultaneously activates the Mega Star, which places a 2×2 Wild and enhances wins through a multiplier meter. Additionally, the Elevate function enables players to purchase direct access to special game features with wager multipliers. Some Elevate options can guarantee or enhance features like Mega Star or Galaxy Star, even combining guaranteed multipliers on scatters at the beginning of a specific spin. The game employs a "cluster pays" mechanic, where wins are determined by connecting three or more identical symbols either horizontally or vertically, eliminating the need for traditional paylines.
