Falling Pickaxe Review
Falling Pickaxe is a pixel-art instant game from Pixmove Games. A spin decides which pickaxe you get, then the pickaxe falls through a board of blocks, breaks them and collects the value of what it reaches.
About the game
The look is clearly inspired by Minecraft: stone, ore, TNT and pickaxes made of wood, stone, iron and diamond. It's one of the most played non-slot games on Slots Launch right now.
It's not a slot with paylines. Each round is one drop, and the fun is watching the path the pickaxe takes.
Falling Pickaxe Features
The pickaxe
Every round starts with a single reel that can land a pickaxe. Better pickaxes last longer: wooden is the weakest, then stone, iron and diamond.
The board
The board has stone blocks, ore clusters, TNT, slime tiles, arrows and upgrade cells. TNT clears nearby blocks, arrows change the pickaxe's direction, slime changes how it moves, and upgrades make the run better.
Bonus buy
The demo has a Bonus Buy button. The price is shown in the game.
How to play
Set the bet and press spin. The reel at the top decides the pickaxe, and the drop plays out on its own. There is a fast-forward button if you want shorter rounds.
RTP, volatility and max win
Catalogues list a 95% RTP, low volatility and a maximum win of 160× the bet. The demo doesn't show these figures.
