Zuma’s Revenge is a Pacific Island themed tile matching puzzle video game developed and published by PopCap Games. It was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on September 15, 2009 as a sequel to the earlier Zuma, and was later ported to Windows Phone. Zuma is an extremely simple, and it has to be said, extremely addictive puzzle game. It even got someone like me who avoids puzzles like the plague, glued to the computer. You control a small frog in some kind of ancient Aztec world that revolves on an axis. The frog spits out different colored balls that destroy other balls whirling around the.

Zuma's Revenge takes the exciting game play found in the original Zuma and pushes it up a notch to create a challenging game for all players.

As with the classic game, you're responsible for matching colors in a specific period of time. The game features several maps with multiple levels on each map. A large frog sitting in the center of the screen has a ball inside its mouth. A ditch running along the edge of the screen follows a path that leads to a gold icon on the opposite side of the screen. Balls come out from the other side and wind along that path. You use fire balls from the frog's mouth and eliminate sections of similar colors. While the game might sound easy, it gets more challenging later.

When time begins winding down, you must make matches faster. The balls move faster too, which can make finding those matches hard. If the chain of balls reaches the gold icon, you lose. The game asks that you eliminate all the balls on the screen before time runs out. A screen at the end of each level shows you the score you earned, any bonus points you earned, and the largest combo you made. You score more points for making higher combos. The game also shows you the expert time for each level compared to the score you earned. You can play each level multiple times to improve your total score.

The higher levels found in Zuma's Revenge are especially challenging. These levels reduce the amount of space between where the balls come out and where the chain ends. Upper levels also bring in new angles and other obstacles that will keep your balls from going exactly where you want. Though the game is frustrating and repetitive at times, it is one that you can beat.

This trial version of Zuma's Revenge lets you play as many levels as you can reach before time runs out. You have just 60 minutes to play before the game will ask you to buy the full version. This may not be enough time for you to decide if you want to invest in the full game. Despite being a demo, the installation and download times are quite long. If you want a unique game and don't mind waiting for it to download, Zuma's Revenge is a great option.

Pros:

• Fun and addictive game that it suitable for all ages
• Game slowly increases in difficulty as you advance
• Improves on the graphics found in the original game
• Features a fun and interesting story line
• Tutorial walks you through the steps of how to play

Cons:

• Download times are quite long
• Installation times are even longer
• Higher levels are quite challenging for beginners
• Demo version only lets you play the game for 60 minutes
• Many levels feel too repetitive

Review

Zuma Deluxe is a match-3 game developed by PopCap. This puzzle adventure consists of forming groups of three or more balls in the same color to burst them, and this way you can stop them from reaching the skull in the middle of the game. In order to carry out this task, you have a little frog that launches balls of differing colors, and you have to aim the frog at similarly colored balls. The adventure has an Aztec theme that you can see once you download it to your PC. The name is derived from Montezuma, an Aztec leader, and the whole screen is decorated with Aztec motifs.

In addition, you have the advantage of some power-ups to help you in your task. These power-ups are activated by busting the bubble with the power-up symbol on it. The power ups include the Slow-Down Ball, which is able to slow the chain of balls for a limited period of time. The Backwards Ball pushes the chain backwards, the Explosion Ball burst all balls which are close, and the Accuracy Ball lets you perform quick shots and gives you an arrow that shows you exactly where you are aiming for better accuracy.

Gameplay

As mentioned above, in Zuma Deluxe you have to match three or more balls of the same color to explode them and thus, avoid the chain of different colored balls from reaching the skull. If a ball does reach the Skull, you will lose a life. Levels are completed once the player explodes all the balls in the chain. There is a bar that must be filled, and when you do so, then it's time to burst as many balls as you can to successfully complete the level.

Zuma Deluxe also has two different game modes, Adventure mode, which is the main one, and Gauntlet mode, that is more challenging. In Adventure mode, you have three lives at the beginning, but as you accumulate points, more lives will be given to you. There are several levels, divided into various types of temple. As you complete levels, more colors of balls will appear, starting from blue, yellow, red and green, to purple, white, etc. The Gauntlet mode is unlocked once you complete all the levels in the Adventure mode. In addition, you can come back to a completed level and beat your previous best score, or if you want, play it in endless mode, though when you play the endless mode, you must take into account that the speed and colors of the balls will gradually increase.
