DESCRIPTION

Zuma is an action puzzle game that puts the sphere-shooting, color-matching play of the Bust-A-Move games on a variety of patterned playing fields. Each playing field has a grooved channel that winds and twists about, and a stone frog "idol" in the center. Players have a top-down view of the action. A string of differently colored marbles slowly moves through the winding channel, from the outside of the board towards the frog in the center. The frog can be freely rotated, and players can shoot the differently colored marbles (which appear in its mouth) in any direction.

By shooting a marble from the frog's mouth into a series of the same colored marbles in the channel, players can create successions of three or more spheres of the same color; when this happens, all the marbles in the succession disappear. The object of the game is to remove all the marbles in the channel, ideally by firing as few marbles from the frog's mouth as possible. Various power-up marbles appear occasionally, producing special effects when shot, and chain reactions are possible, but if the line of marbles in the channel reaches the frog in the center, the level is lost.

The original version of PopCap's Zuma can be played for free online. The retail "Deluxe" version of the game features 3D graphics, new background themes, more sound effects and music, and additional modes of play. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“PopCap Marathon!”

“Zuma is a surprisingly addictive title. It is the epitome of that "Just one more game..." phenomenon that is a staple of Pop Cap. One of their strongest titles, although it doesn't hold a candle to last year's Plants vs Zombies.”

“This is a decent marble puzzle game. While this game does get a little hard it is still pretty casual. I do have to say the pc version is much better than the ps3 version. Using a mouse is the only way to play this game accurately. ”
