Play Tractor Beam

Farm animals have had a rough run in alien folklore, and Tractor Beam turns that entire mess into a Nolimit City slot. We’re looking at a 5x3 game from the studio, with 20 paylines, Wilds, Scatters, Clone Attack, Beam ’Em Up and Abduction Spins. The setup is part farmyard, part UFO experiment, and part reminder that cows really cannot catch a break. 

Tractor Beam gives us an alien invasion with a comic farmyard twist. Instead of grim sci fi horror, Nolimit City goes for bright blue skies, strange energy beams and animals being dropped onto the reels in stacks. The tone is silly, but not lazy. We get the usual studio confidence, just with chickens and sheep instead of gangsters, fighters or prison yards. A softer day at the office, somehow. 

The symbols are split between cartoon animals and rough wooden royal tiles. The cow, pig, sheep and chicken bring most of the personality, while the Wild has a yellow alien sign look that fits the UFO angle. The feature screens add more identity, especially Clone Attack and Beam ’Em Up, where the alien logic becomes clear: clone the animals, remove the junk, keep the reels moving. Strange priorities, but at least they’re organised. 

Tractor Beam pays from left to right across active paylines. The wooden royal symbols sit at the lower end, while the farm animals and Wild carry stronger values. 

Special Symbols 

• Wild: The Wild substitutes for any regular paying symbol, but not for the Scatter. Wilds are never beamed up and remain on the reels during Abduction Spins. 
• Scatter: Three or more Scatters trigger Abduction Spins. Scatters can also award extra spins before being removed from the reels during the feature. 

Clone Attack 

Clone Attack randomly selects one farm animal symbol and lands it stacked on up to four reels. The selected symbol can be the chicken, sheep, pig or cow. 

This feature keeps the farmyard joke tied directly to the gameplay. Instead of simply using animal symbols as decoration, the aliens send them back in stacks. Among modern online slots, it’s a neat way to make a light theme do mechanical work without adding a full side round. 

Beam ’Em Up 

Beam ’Em Up removes all low value symbols and Scatters from the reels. In practice, that means the wooden royal symbols and Scatters are taken away, leaving higher paying animal symbols and Wilds behind. 

This can make the remaining reel area more focused on stronger symbols. The feature fits the theme cleanly too, since the aliens are apparently collecting non organic material for their spaceship. Questionable science, tidy slot logic. 

Abduction Spins 

Abduction Spins trigger when 3 or more Scatters land. Three Scatters award 7 bonus spins, four Scatters award 9 bonus spins, and five Scatters award 12 bonus spins. 

During the feature, every winning symbol type is beamed off the reels for the remainder of the round. Wilds stay in place and are never removed. Each Scatter that lands during the feature awards one extra spin before being beamed away. As more regular symbols disappear, the reels can become increasingly concentrated, which gives the round its main sense of progression. 

Wilds During Abduction Spins 

Wilds become especially important during Abduction Spins because they remain on the reels while other winning symbols can disappear. Since the feature removes winning symbol types after they pay, Wilds help preserve connection potential as the available symbol pool changes. 

That gives the bonus round its unusual shape. The reels don’t simply spin through a fixed set of symbols. They gradually lose winning symbols, while Wilds stay behind like the only creatures smart enough not to step into the beam. 

Tractor Beam uses 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Regular wins pay from left to right across adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Wilds substitute for paying symbols, while Scatters trigger Abduction Spins. 

The base game adds movement through Clone Attack and Beam ’Em Up. Clone Attack stacks a chosen animal on several reels, while Beam ’Em Up removes lower value material from the grid. The bonus round then changes the rhythm by removing winning symbols for the rest of the feature. That makes Tractor Beam fairly easy to read at first, but more unusual once Abduction Spins start clearing symbol types away. 

Across online casinos, the closest comparisons come from Nolimit City titles with unusual themes, symbol removal features or oddball feature logic. 

• Space Donkey: The sci-fi absurdity makes this a natural neighbour, with Nolimit City turning strange outer space comedy into a slot structure that doesn’t behave like a standard reel game. 
• Brute Force: The theme is completely different, but both games show Nolimit City working with a tight feature set and one main mechanic doing most of the heavy lifting. 
• Whacked!: This one has a much darker mood, though the shared Nolimit City attitude and feature focused reel behaviour make it a useful comparison. 

Tractor Beam works because the joke and the mechanics actually speak to each other. The alien farmyard theme could’ve been a throwaway skin, but Clone Attack, Beam ’Em Up and Abduction Spins all make sense inside the concept. We like that the game turns abduction into symbol removal, because that gives the bonus round a clear identity beyond a basic spin counter. 

The visual style is lighter than many Nolimit City releases, which is a nice change from the studio’s usual collection of grim rooms and bad decisions. The feature set is not huge, but the removal mechanic gives Abduction Spins enough character. We’d place Tractor Beam among slot games for players who like weird themes, clean payline structure and bonus rounds that slowly change the available symbol pool.
