Zuma Ball

Game Description: Shoot balls and create groups of 3 or more of the same color to remove them from the game. Remove all balls before they reach the exit.

How to Play Zuma Ball:

• Click the 'Play' button.
• Move your mouse back and forth (left and right) along the yellow line.
• Click to shoot.
• Create groups of balls of 3 or more of the same color to remove them from the game.
• Avoid the bumpers because the balls will bounce around, and end up almost always where you did not intend.
• Try to hit the bonus spots to earn extra points.
• Press your spacebar to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot.
• If you are able to remove all of the balls before any reach the exit, you will advance to the next level of play.
• If any ball reaches the exit... it is game over!
• Note: Do not click the 'Menu' button, located near the upper left corner. If you do, you will lose all of your game progress and you will have to begin a new game back at level 1.

Zuma Ball Game Options:

• The music may be turned on or off by clicking the musical note icon located near the upper left corner.
• The shooting sound effect may be turned on or off by clicking the sound icon located near the upper right corner.
• Click the 'Pause' button, near the upper left corner, to pause the game. Click the 'Continue' button to resume playing.

Zuma Ball Playing Tips:

• Look for combos. For instance, if you have a sequence of 2 purple balls, 2 red balls, and 2 more purple balls, you could shoot a red ball into the 2 red balls and remove seven balls with one shot. The red ball you shoot would form a group of 3 red balls removing those 3 balls. Then the 2 purple balls would combine with the other 2 purple balls forming another group of 4, thus removing those 4 balls.
• If you see a single ball with no other same color ball next to it, shoot a ball of the same color into it. Now, you have a group of two balls of the same color. When that color comes up again, if you have a clear shot, you can then remove both balls.
• Use the spacebar whenever you want to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot. This is a big advantage. Use it!

Richard's Rating: 3 out of 5.

Comments: Zuma Ball seems somewhat easier than the other zuma games I have on my site. The balls seem to move slower. Plus you have the added advantage of being able to change the color of the ball you are about to shoot. Given these two factors, this makes Zuma Ball an ideal choice if you want a less challenging game, especially through the lower levels of play.

Other Games: If you want to play other similar games, but would like perhaps more of a challenge, try some of my other Zuma Games.
