Zuma's Revenge! (Web Version)
Game Description:
An irresistible force has taken our fearless frog to an island where the ribbeting puzzle-action of Zuma has evolved in amazing ways… but evil spirits and tenacious tiki bosses rule the land! Survive the ire of the island by firing stone spheres to destroy the deadly stream of balls. Conquer over 60 levels by staying sharp and avoiding hidden traps. Slide and hop for smarter shots; hit targets for exotic bonuses; detonate new power-up balls; battle six imposing tiki bosses and guide your agile amphibian to victory in four all new game modes! Will you succumb to the perilous pitfalls, or can you tame the jungle in this PopCap ball-blasting challenge?
The objective of Zuma is to eliminate all the balls rolling along a visible path before they reach the yellow skull structure. This path is clear in all levels except for the final one, where it becomes more challenging. The skull opens slightly as a warning of oncoming balls, signaling danger. Players can carry two balls at a time and switch between them freely.
When a ball reaches the skull, the others follow, and the stone frog idol spins rapidly before disappearing. This causes the player to lose a life. To prevent this, players must fire colored balls from the stone frog idol's mouth to match and eliminate balls in the chain. The chain continues to move forward until the player fills the yellow bar, which stops new balls from appearing and eases the challenge.
If three or more balls of the same color touch, they explode. These explosions can trigger chain reactions, clearing large sections. The level is completed when, after filling the bar, the player eliminates all remaining balls on the screen, achieving victory.
Players can earn bonuses by collecting coins, often through gaps in the chain. Bonuses are also awarded for causing explosions through gaps and maintaining a streak of consecutive explosions (chain bonuses). Time bonuses are given for completing levels within "ace time," which varies between 30 seconds and 4 minutes depending on the level.
There are four types of power-ups in the game. These power-ups activate when the corresponding ball is exploded:
Backwards Ball: Pushes the furthest chain backward for a short distance, creating a brief respite.
Slow-Down Ball: Temporarily slows the speed of the chain, giving more control.
Accuracy Ball: Allows quicker shots and shows an arrow for better aiming. This lasts for a similar duration as the slow-down ball.
Explosion Ball: Explodes all balls in a small radius, effectively clearing difficult clusters.
Power-up balls revert to regular balls if not activated quickly. Timing and strategy are crucial for success.
Survive the ancient temples of Zuma, the critically acclaimed action-puzzler from PopCap! Deep in the jungle lie hidden temples bursting with traps and trickery, and it's up to you to uncover their treasures. Fire magical balls from your stone frog idol to make matches of three or more and clear the deadly chain before it reaches the golden skull.
Explore all the temples — if you're good, you’ll rack up huge combos and special bonuses that'll help you on your way. But think fast and aim smart, or you'll be history in this action-packed puzzle challenge!
A ball has a perfect shape, doesn’t it? From ancient times people are fond of games with balls. There are a lot of such games in sports and even more of them - in computer world!
