In 2089 the defense AI AXIOM woke up, decided humanity was the threat and took control of every factory, drone and weapon on Earth. Cities became steel graveyards patrolled by its machines.
Deep under the ruins the resistance fights back, led by Commander Kade Reyes, a hardened soldier with a cybernetic arm he ripped from one of AXIOM's units. His plan: reach AXIOM's core and override it from inside.
Original designs only: the machines have faceless masks with cyan visor slits, and danger reads as amber rather than red, so nothing borrows a familiar film-robot look.
Symbols face the camera from slightly below, centred, and stay readable on a phone. Pays are ×bet per line for 3 / 4 / 5 of a kind, placeholders tuned for a convincing demo.

| H2 | Platinum Chip | 8 / 30 / 100 |

A 16:9 main game with portrait versions of the splash and feature screens for mobile. The background keeps a dark, low-contrast centre behind the reels, with detail only at the edges and top.
The game started as OVERRIDE: Machine Rising, with Kade, a drone, a Juggernaut and a rifle as the high symbols. The final set replaced them with chips and cores, with no human characters on the reels, and kept the Sentinel Head as the link to the story.
The name moved too: AXIOM became the title, and OVERRIDE stayed as the name of the free spins feature, where the resistance hacks the machines.
Premium video-slot art, stylized semi-realistic 3D. Cinematic, high-stakes sci-fi: the AI is cyan, the resistance is amber, wins are gold.
- Chunky exaggerated proportions, readable on a phone.
- Beveled hard surfaces with crisp edge highlights; polished chrome, brushed gunmetal, black glass. No grime.
- Rim light in cyan or amber on top contours, soft deep ambient occlusion in seams.
- Gradients on every surface, no flat colors.
- Symbols, buttons and plaques rendered on pure black to keep the glow; empty frames on green as a mask.
- Original IP only: no existing film robots or franchise looks.
- ›Splash with a loading bar that follows real asset loading, then “TAP TO START”
- ›16:9 stage that scales to any window
- ›Reels with a wind-up, motion blur, left-to-right stops and a bounce on landing
- ›Quick stop: press SPIN again while the reels spin
- ›Balance and total bet count up, with a gold flash on wins
- ›20 paylines: all winning lines first, then one at a time with its payout
- ›Winning symbols get gold frames and a pulsing amber glow; the rest dim
- ›Big / Mega / Epic Win at 15× / 40× / 100× the bet: plaque punch-in, light rays, a coin fountain
- ›The counter climbs through the tiers and the plaque changes BIG → MEGA → EPIC
- ›3 / 4 / 5 Scatters = 8 / 12 / 20 spins
- ›With two Scatters showing, the remaining reels slow down and glow
- ›The screen turns amber and every Sentinel Head becomes Wild
- ›Extra Scatters add spins; “OVERRIDE COMPLETE” summary at the end
- ›3×3 server racks, each behind a “firewall” lock panel
- ›Each pick glitches its panel away to reveal credits or a ×2 / ×3 / ×5 multiplier
- ›ACCESS 1/3 → ACCESS GRANTED progress, then the other racks reveal what they held
- Exact match to the art. AUTOPLAY and BET are drawn into the backdrop, so the pressable parts are cut from the backdrop itself and light up when pressed.
- Readable SPIN. The label is part of the sprite, so a light arc rotates around the button instead of spinning the sprite.
- Art workarounds. For 8 or 20 spins the baked “12 FREE SPINS” line is covered and re-set in matching chrome-and-gold type; every hack rack starts behind a lock panel for one clean starting state.
- Performance. Motion blur is drawn once at load, all particles share one canvas, and effects behind dark overlays pause.
- Made in code. Coins, light rays, glows, lock panels, paylines and the synthesized sound effects.
- Plain stack. HTML, CSS and JavaScript only, no frameworks or build step.
