Nuwa Deluxe

{
  "game": {
    "name": "Nuwa Deluxe",
    "provider": "Habanero",
    "novelty": "Two mechanics new to our Habanero coverage: (1) the number of active paylines RANDOMLY UPGRADES DURING A SINGLE SPIN (28 -> 38 -> 58 -> 88), while the cost of the spin stays fixed at 50 coins regardless of which line-count is active; (2) a two-stage free-spins structure (Free Games -> Super Free Games) unlocked by collecting 5 element symbols, where the collection progress CARRIES OVER between Free Games rounds instead of resetting.",
    "theme": "Chinese creation myth. The game is built around Nuwa (女娃), the mother-goddess/creator figure of Chinese mythology, shown as a woman in a red-and-gold silk hanfu robe whose lower body is a long green-and-gold scaled serpent tail (the classical half-woman, half-serpent depiction of Nuwa). She holds five glowing orbs representing the five classical elements -- fire, water/frost, wood/moss, earth, and wood-grain/metal -- the same five orbs reappear as the game's low-value reel symbols and as the free-spins element-collection icons. A roaring white/jade Chinese dragon with a golden crown is the SCATTER symbol. High-value symbols are four ornate lotus flowers (gold, orange, magenta, purple). The backdrop is a cosmic wormhole/galaxy sky with a black hole, meteor-like light streaks, and floating mountaintop pagodas; the reel frame itself sits over a volcanic, lava-cracked underworld glow.",
    "art_style": "Painterly, semi-realistic fantasy illustration (not flat vector, not cel-shaded cartoon): soft airbrushed shading, a near-photorealistic rendered face and skin on the Nuwa character, glowing particle and light-trail effects around her hands and the orbs, and a dramatic cosmic/mythological night-time atmosphere (galaxy backdrop, black hole, meteor streaks, lava glow) rather than flat daylight. The reel grid sits inside an ornate carved-gold temple frame with jade-green serpent/dragon vine motifs at the top corners and coral-pink tentacle-like scrollwork along the sides and bottom, giving an opulent, richly detailed, slightly dark and mystical mood -- not casual, not kid-friendly-cute. View is a static front-facing 2D reel grid (no isometric or 3D-rendered camera).",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind of all types, motor-impaired) built from 47 desktop screenshots (1280x800) plus zoomed crops and the game's own printed Help screen text (used verbatim as ground truth for numbers).",
    "method_notes": "All numeric values (RTP, bet limits, payout tiers, jackpot contributions, paylines) are taken verbatim from the in-game paytable booklet (15 pages, page-indicator pagination) and the separate in-game Help screen (12 screens, HTML overlay, scrolled to exhaustion). Where the booklet and Help disagree or a number is not printed anywhere in the client, this is stated explicitly in 'unreadable_or_uncertain' and nothing is invented.",

    "super_free_games_background": "A different, more intense swirling cosmic vortex in saturated pink, blue and purple (brighter and more chaotic than the base-game starfield), signalling the upgraded feature state independent of any counter text.",
    "ui_bottom_bar": "A pink/magenta serpent-skin-textured ribbon bar running the width of the screen, with round gold-rimmed buttons; the central SPIN button is a large red circle with a lighter red spin-arrow glyph.",
    "jackpot_tickers": "Two dark teal/navy plaques top-left and top-center-left labelled 'Minor' and 'Grand', values printed in gold/white text prefixed with '€' (Euro sign) -- a different currency glyph from the demo balance's '‡' token, visually signalling these are a separate value track.",
    "accent_colors": "Gold (frame, buttons, symbol borders, most UI text), jade/teal green (dragon-vine frame ornaments, Nuwa's serpent tail, pagoda roofs), magenta/pink (UI ribbon bar, tentacle scrollwork, some lotus symbols), orange-red (fire orb symbol, lava glow, 'Buy Feature'/win banners)."
