Great Game - SPOILERS!!

This is a highly addictive, relaxing way to pass time or just relax.
But first impressions of this game are deceiving. It seems like a simplistic, straight forward skill shot game. If you play it this way it will take you forever to conquer it. I was lucky enough to have my computer crash. When I started out the second time around - applying the knowledge I had gained - it made a huge difference. So here are the SPOILERS:

1. Try to see how long you can make the game last on the first round of each level. The game records your first score at each level and you get more points - and lives - if you did really poorly the first round.

2. Set yourself up for combos.

3. Get used to swapping the color balls. Look on the back of the frog to see what color is next and swap when necessary.
You'll need the extra lives to make it through the really hard puzzles.

Addictive! be warned

Too addictive to resist, popcap games have been described as crack for your computer. This is accurate. Fun for the casual game player, or the serious one, Zuma is for everyone, and no one who plays it will ever be bored with it.

Dont follow the ball

This game is an arcade style shoot the ball at others of matching color type. The balls travel in mazes. There are many ways to earn bonus points. The balls travel faster at higher levels and they add more colors making it harder to get a match before the balls get past you and through the exit of the maze. This is one of those games where its easy to lose track of time. Thats the bad news. The good news is that for those days where you need a bit of mindless escapism, this game is excellent. One thing I have learned is to not watch the ball. I have made it all the way through level 13. There is an ending to this game so the writer does allow you that win. Before I was doing well I would set up and shot, watch the ball travel, then watch it blow up other balls. Then I realized, once you let the ball go, you should move on to the next shot. If you KNOW if the ball landed (you saw it land), you are watching the old ball travel instead of setting up the new shot. Your wasting time. The game sucks you into that because its so gratifying to watch something you shot blow something else up. Resist the temptation. Learn on the lower levels to make gap shots. You must be able to blow a hole through a closer level, then shoot through that to objects further away for bonus points. This bonus will slow things down enough to allow you to win up to the last level. The game goes up to one board of level 13. For those that havent bought the game yet, do so. This game is good clean fun for not much money. Once you buy it make sure you read the writing in between boards outloud. Its pretty amusing. This is a game that you will play for several days, forget about, and then rediscover again and again on your computer. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I have run through this game.

Delightfully Fun!

I love this game it is a lot of fun. The colors in the game remind me of fruit colored cereal. I thoroughly enjoy the subtle encouragement that the game gives me whenever I climb to each new level. It quickly proclaims a quick . . . "ZUMA". I don't know whether or not I live for that sound or I just love the game. You should try this game its incredibly delightful!

A good game

Ok - FYI - there are 13 levels (last level is super-long and track is invisible). I play this all the time trying to beat previous scores LOL - most addictive!

I keep wondering when I will get bored of this.

I have beat the last level 13 many times, but I still enjoy playing to see if I can beat my high scores. There is a "gauntlet" mode of play that I find is great for practice. If you complete all the gauntlets with a "sungod" mastery, your little frog in the main menu gets a top hat!! I don't know how far the game will let you go. I have gotten up to "sungod level 21" and the balls are moving so fast it seems impossible to me to go much faster. So I don't know if there is a point where you can actually "beat" the gauntlet. I think that is part of the reason I keep trying. You never know if there is some other little hidden level or trinket they may give you.

Do not play if you can't afford to be addicted

I have played free trial versions of this game so many times that it makes my head spin. This is one of my all time favorite puzzle games because of it's addictive qualities. You will literally spend hours playing this game and trying to get through all the levels. If these people ever produce a Zuma 2, I'll buy it in two seconds. This game is a lot of fun.

One of the most addicting games ever!

This game is fun and addicting, yet can be a little frustrating, but that is all part of the fun and why it is so addicting. You can play the adventure part of the game which you go through different levels and speeds or you can play the gauntlet where you pick a board (attack of the spirals, etc) and see how long you can survive. So far in the adventure I've reached level 8-4 and in the gauntlet I've reached sun god 4. This is really an amazing game that keeps you glued to your computer for hours on end and is perfect for all ages.
