Pirots 5 Game Features
Gem collection fills the feature meter. When the meter is full, feature symbols enter the grid and can change payouts, symbols or bird movement.
CollectR and the feature meter
Four birds are linked to four gem colours. A bird collects matching gems it can reach vertically or horizontally, moves into each cleared position and continues for as long as another valid symbol is available.
Paying-symbol collections add progress to the feature meter. A completed meter releases feature symbols, which can raise payout levels, transform parts of the board, create Wilds or Coins, add Bonus symbols or award Tokens.

Feature symbols
Feature symbols can chain into each other. A Transform may put more matching gems beside a bird. An Upgrade may increase their value before collection. A Wild can bridge a route that would otherwise stop.

Switcheroo
Switcheroo can activate when two adjacent birds have run out of available collections. The birds swap places, which can expose new matching gems from their new positions.
Super Switcheroo
Super Switcheroo moves one bird farther: either toward the edge of the grid or toward the next collectable symbol along its path. It can reopen a route after a normal collection sequence has stalled.
Labyrinth
Labyrinth can activate when three or more birds end up adjacent to one another. Gems are removed from rows and columns and the birds are separated along new paths, creating a different layout for the next collection sequence.

How features interact
The order of effects matters because each result becomes the starting state for the next.
Upgrade into collection
An Upgrade symbol can increase a gem colour by up to three levels before that colour is collected again. The next matching gems use the updated payout level.
Transform into a new route
Converted gems can appear beside a bird and extend the movement sequence.
Bonus with an already developed grid
Expanded positions, meter progress and upgraded values remain when bonus drops begin.
