Hacksaw Gaming has expanded its portfolio with Sun Princess, a slot built on movement, repetition, and structure. Rather than relying on static spins, the title presents a system in which light becomes the central mechanism, reshaping the grid and influencing each outcome in a chain of deliberate reactions.

The slot operates on a cluster-based format, where groups of symbols connect rather than follow fixed paylines. Every round introduces the possibility of a Sun Ray Frame, a feature that defines the rhythm of the game. This frame can appear over any symbol, and once standard wins are settled, it activates, extending in straight lines across the grid. As it spreads, it converts every symbol it touches into a copy of the one it first struck, reshaping the board in real time and forming new potential clusters.

The direction of this spread depends on the frame’s configuration. Some move vertically, stretching from top to bottom, while others extend horizontally or in all four directions. The process combines simplicity with a subtle unpredictability, as the outcome of each spread depends entirely on the symbol layout it interacts with. When the frame crosses over a Wild symbol, the mechanics shift slightly. The Wild absorbs a 2x multiplier that compounds with each subsequent frame it touches. If several Wild multipliers are active simultaneously, their combined total applies to the overall cluster win, reinforcing the concept of accumulation and progression that runs throughout the slot.

One of the more dynamic elements of Sun Princess is the Chain Reaction system. When a spreading frame encounters symbols that match its origin, low, high, or Wild, it triggers another frame at that point. This secondary frame spreads in turn, continuing the process until no further matching symbols remain or the grid is filled. It’s a gradual, self-expanding motion that gives each spin a sense of continuity, as one transformation often leads naturally into the next.

Beyond the main play, Sun Princess incorporates a series of layered bonus rounds, each expanding on the core mechanic in distinct ways. The first, Solaris Grove, begins when three scatter symbols appear at once, awarding ten free spins. During this mode, the likelihood of Sun Ray Frames appearing increases, heightening the pace and intensity of grid transformation. The bonus can extend further; landing two scatter symbols adds two extra spins, while landing three adds four.

The second stage, Sunfire Palace, activates when four scatters appear simultaneously. It maintains the same principles as Solaris Grove. Still, it introduces a new condition: any Wild symbol struck by a Sun Ray Frame not only gains a 2x multiplier but also becomes sticky, remaining on the grid for the remainder of the feature. Each additional hit raises the multiplier, turning the board into a record of previous rounds, where earlier outcomes influence later ones.

At the far end of the structure lies the Golden Eclipse round, a hidden feature triggered when five scatter symbols land in the same spin. It mirrors the Sunfire Palace mechanics but guarantees the presence of at least one Sun Ray Frame on every free spin. This assurance transforms the pattern of play; light becomes constant, no longer appearing by chance but as an integrated part of each round.

Throughout all stages, Wild symbols serve as replacements for standard ones, enabling larger cluster formations. However, Sun Ray Frames themselves cannot land on scatter symbols, preserving a separation between triggering mechanisms and expansion sequences. The result is a system built on predictable structure but variable outcomes, where the balance between repetition and chance shapes the game’s overall rhythm.

In Sun Princess, Hacksaw Gaming maintains its focus on mechanical depth rather than visual excess. Each feature stems logically from the previous one, allowing the play to evolve without losing coherence. The frame-spreading system, multipliers, and chain reactions all revolve around a single principle: transformation through contact. Light moves across the grid, altering what it touches and creating layers of continuity between spins.

The slot’s design also reflects Hacksaw Gaming’s continued interest in integrating pattern-based mechanics into its titles. The steady buildup of multipliers, the expanding frames, and the controlled probability of bonuses all serve as variations of a single theme, motion as progression. Instead of relying on abrupt surprises, the game’s structure encourages a sense of flow, where each event follows logically from the last.
