Pushy Cats Review

Visually, we are reminded of Snowbornes' hit release, Cat Clans, and the solid 20,000x potential is also the same. Yggdrasil’s Pushy Cats is even more quirky though, and the game show setting is more flashy and superficial than the medieval Highlands setting. We’ve seen better graphics from this developer for sure, but the color scheme and the symbols suit the cartoonish and humorous style just fine.

The base game comes with a Sticky Wilds Respins feature, and this is one way to enter the all-important Bonus Game. You can gamble to level up your bonus before it starts, and this awards more modifier bouncer positions and less vortexes. The triggering wilds move around per spin, and the global multiplier increases per win or via modifiers the wilds land on. You get other modifiers as well, and the vortexes remove wilds and will eventually end the feature.

Pushy Cats Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 10 and 25 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and every wild you land triggers the Sticky Wild Respins feature. The triggering wild, or wilds, becomes frozen in place, while the remaining positions respin. This process repeats if you land a new wild on the respin, and the feature ends when you don’t land any new wilds.

The sticky wild respins round also ends if you manage to rack up 3 sticky wilds, as this triggers the Bonus Game. You’ll get bonus level 1-3 randomly assigned when the feature triggers from the base game, but you can gamble to get a higher level. In addition, you can trigger the feature by collecting 10 bonus symbols during base game play, and a higher level means more modifying bouncer symbols and fewer vortex symbols.

The global multiplier increases by +1 per win during the feature, and the triggering wilds are carried over to become moving wilds. The reels are now surrounded by a frame of bouncer symbols, and these come with modifiers or vortexes. Wilds that move to a vortex position are removed, while wilds that move to a regular bouncer position trigger the 1 of the following modifiers:

• Multiplier - adds +1, +2, +3 or +5 to the global win multiplier.
• Coins - award cash prizes between 1x and 50x your stake.
• U-Turn - pushes the wild symbol back to the grid.
• Extra Wild - adds 1-2 wilds that also become moving wilds.
• Bonus Game Level Up - increase your level, which adds more bouncers at the expense of vortexes.

Whenever a wild lands on a bouncer position, it moves back to its original position as the bouncer symbol turns into a vortex. The indefinite free spins feature ends when vortexes have removed all present moving wild symbols.

Each paw bonus symbol you collect in the base game reduces the Bonus Buy cost by 10 %, and the buy feature comes with 2 options. Pay 100x your stake for a level 1 to 3 bonus game, or pay 990x your stake for the maxed out bonus game level 4. The bonus buy is not available in the UK. The Golden Bet option increases your bet size by 50 %, and it doubles your bonus game chances.

The 200 Spins Pushy Cats Slot Experience

You get to see the Sticky Wild Respins feature in the base game part of our 7:29-minute highlights video, before we purchase the bonus game at 1:15 into the video. We got level 1 at first, but gambled our way up to level 3. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Yggdrasil is not afraid of doing things in unique ways, and Pushy Cats is a quirky, cartoonish game show slot that plays out like nothing we’ve ever seen before. At first we didn’t like the way the sticky wild respins feature is announced with great fanfare each time, but that was before we realized that it can lead to the bonus game. With 500x as the base game single spin max win, you need the bonus game to close in on the surprisingly solid 20,000x potential.

It will be very tempting to gamble for a higher level if you only get level 1, like we did, as you will want as few vortexes and as many modifying bouncer positions as you can get. Losing your moving wilds to vortexes is neither fun nor lucrative, and many times the wilds will move in frustrating ways (like the self-willed felines they are). We could go either way on Pushy Cats, and far from everyone will like it, but it’s a good option if you want to try something out of the ordinary.
