Ah, that Miley Cyrus, she started all these twerking thing and brought it to stardom. The way she twerks on stage during her performances can make any man drool, with wide opened eyes, and mouth ajar. Oh sheesh! Okay, I admit I was one of them too, but only for a while. That twerking thing didn't keep my interest for long. But now, Endorphina has taken a daring step forward by twerking their game online, for all to play and see, for as often as they like. Yes, the game 'Twerk' does its thing right from the word 'go', became the talk of the town between gamblers, and got many players to try it out too. Me? Only yesterday I tried this Twerk thing for the first time ever, after it's been out for a few months already. I told you I wasn't that keen about it, right? Hehehe.
Twerk plays with only 5 paylines, with only 3 reels and 3 rows, more like those mechanical slot machines from decades ago. Don't ask me why the retro style, perhaps Endorphina was only testing the water first. With a minimum starting bet of just $0.05 or lower, everyone can play it, if they want to, without needing any big starting bankroll. I played this Twerk with only a $10 deposit, just to see how it plays and pays, just to get a feeling of what all the rage and commotions were all about. Even so, I managed to get a fairly long extended play time from it.
If you're thinking that the logo 'Twerk' is the Wild symbol, it isn't. There isn't any Wild symbol in this game. 'VS' is the Scatter symbol, paying 5x the total bet for 3 of them, and triggers the Free Games with Battle Feature. Don't forget, it's a 3-reels game, so don't go looking for 5-of-a-kind wins. All other symbols, besides the 'VS' symbol, are of ladies' butts, doing their twerks, in various pants and costumes. That's the only way to recognise which butts belong to which lady, hehehe. The highest paying butts, or symbol, is the one in the gold coloured pants, with the word 'twerk' on it. How appropriate! This symbol pays 100x the total bet for 3 of them. The shiny hot pants pay 20x, with the rest paying from 10x to 0.5x the total bet for 3 of each kind. Gees! How to rate such a paytable? It isn't a normal paytable, nor a normal game, so I'll just rate it as average, to be safe.
Twerk is all about the Battle Feature in the Free Games, or Free Spins. Click the 'Spin' button to randomly select your Dancer. An opponent Dancer will then be selected for you, starting from the lowest ranking. Each battle has 5 rounds, or spins, and winning each battle takes you to the next battle level, up to the Final Battle level. Wins are increased with each higher battle level. Getting 3 'VS' Scatters during the battle rounds award 3 more free rounds, or spins. Losing a battle ends the Battle Feature game. Not a complicated free spins game at all, but tend to be predictable most of the time, the way I see it.
I managed to get a number of Free Spins games, with the first game playing up to the Final Battle level, only to lose to that gold coloured 'twerk' butts, hahaha. That win was the only good win that I could get, still below the 100x bet amount, but it kept me playing on for much longer, all at the minimum bets of just $0.05 per spin. Then the Free Spins games became very predictable, losing the first Battle most of the time, because my randomly selected Dancer was almost always the lowest ranking one. What the argh! Ah well, it was a nice twerking experience for me anyway.

After playing the game for more than 1 hour, all on that starting $10 deposit, the effect of all those twerkings soon came in. I could feel my eyes 'twerking' when the butts were not spinning, hahaha. Hmm, not a laughing matter at all, to be very honest! Those twerks can actually affect your eyes and eyesight after long exposure to them. Not really recommended for weak eyes, but you won't know if your eyes are weak or not until you've twerked them, hehehe. A fun game to play, but I don't think it could become a big hit.
