What is Switcheroo in Pirots 4?

Sometimes in Pirots 4 it seems like the end is near — the birds get stuck and can no longer collect any symbols. But that’s exactly when the Switcheroo feature can step in.

If two birds are next to each other, horizontally or vertically, and have no moves left, they can swap positions at random.

After the switch, one of the birds lands in a new position and may be able to collect additional gems. It works like a small reset of the round, often triggering a new chain of collections.

There is also a special version of this feature: Space Switcheroo.

It triggers rarely, only when birds are close to each other during space modes. In this case, one of the birds is teleported either to the edge of the board or to the next available symbol it can collect in its movement direction.

The gems removed from the board don’t count toward the overall score, but they still free up space for new combinations.

Is Switcheroo available for purchase?

Switcheroo cannot be purchased separately — it's a purely random mechanic that activates when specific conditions are met.

It can appear in both regular spins and bonus modes when birds get too close and become stuck.

Sometimes Switcheroo can literally save a spin, giving birds a new path and another chance to collect more symbols.

Conclusions

Switcheroo is one of the features that makes Pirots 4 a lively and unpredictable game.

It can completely change the outcome of a round at the most unexpected moment: the birds swap positions and a new collection chain suddenly begins.

It activates infrequently (8-10 times per 100 games), but when it does, the effect can be significant — especially in modes with multipliers and active bonuses.
