Puzzle game based on tile-matching

Zuma is a puzzle game in which you must match up to four balls of the exact same color. To accomplish this, you must shoot a ball using the frog-shaped cannonball towards balls that match your colors. Once you have eliminated all the balls from the track, you will move on to the next level. A life is lost if a ball touches the track's center. This can only be done three times. The game will close after the fourth attempt and you will have to start over.

Gameplay

Zuma's goal is to eliminate all balls on a single-laned spiral track. By firing the ball from your cannon at a group of identical-colored balls, you can eliminate as many as possible. Three red balls are already on track, so you're lucky to have a red cannon ball. It will form a four-ball set if it turns its mouth towards the balls. Once the game detects a match, it will automatically disappear.

A domino effect can also cause balls to disappear. Because you have removed all the balls that were blocking your way, a new set will be created. Although pairing balls is the best way to win, there are special ball that make it easier. These are also known as power-ups. They are balls that can only be activated. The ball that moves backwards pushes the outermost one back up, while slow-down slows down all the balls to stop them from hitting the golden skull.

The first two powerups prevent you from losing your life, while the second two help you take down more balls. The accuracy ball improves your shooting, while the explosion balls remove nearby by balls. This includes balls that are not matchable. Bonus points will be awarded if you cause several groups to explode in succession. You will receive more points if you complete a level in record-breaking time. This can vary depending on the difficulty level. It can take anywhere from thirty seconds to four minutes.

Fun matching game for all players

Zuma is a great game for those who want an easy-to-follow and straightforward game. The game is challenging even for advanced players, as there are very few controls and limited space to accomplish the game's objectives. The game's 3D graphics and effects enhance its overall experience, but it is still very easy for your computer.
