Zuma Deluxe

Zuma Deluxe

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!

Zuma also offers the gauntlet mode, where a player can choose to play in a level they have already reached in adventure mode, and either practice to beat the level, or play in survival mode, where the difficulty in colors and speed of balls will gradually increase. The level classifications of the gauntlet mode, in order, are Rabbit, Eagle, Jaguar and Sun God. A player is required to fill seven stages in practice mode or seven yellow bars in survival mode before advancing to the next level. Upon reaching Sun God, in which the balls move in constant speed even when nearing the skull, a player can continue endlessly, since the level classification has no limit in both stages and bars.

Key Features

  • 3D accelerated graphics and effects.
  • Stunning sounds and tribal tunes.
  • Explore the Adventure mode and test your skills in Gauntlet mode.
  • Over 20 temples to explore!

Zuma Deluxe Review

Zuma Deluxe is a puzzle game where you control a rotating from from a top down view in what looks like an ancient Aztec/Mayan temple of sorts. There is a track on the screen that has multicolored balls moving through the track. The objective is to shoot colored balls from the mouth of the rotating frog onto balls along the track. Once three or more colors are formed together from a ball from the frog’s mouth, the balls disappear. But watch out! There is an end to the track! So as your balls move along this track, if you don’t lessen the line of the track, then you could easily find yourself in the losers pit.

My big deal is that I have played this game countless times before. I didn’t want to play through every single level ever all over again. No big deal! I played the first and second level, and the AI recognized my skill level and asked me if I would like to go to a level more fitting for my skill level. Nothing makes me happier when a game recognizes my ability to play at a higher difficulty, and tailors itself to that difficulty.

Make no mistake. This game isn’t a serious buy. If you want something to pass the time, or get bored by the expensive AAA titles, pick up this game and give it a whirl. If you hate time passing puzzle games, then you might not like this game. I will never uninstall this title though. Never.
