Zuma's Revenge game info
In the Zuma’s Revenge game, players control a frog that shoots colored balls at an advancing chain of balls along a winding path.
Goal
The objective in Zuma’s Revenge is to prevent the balls from reaching the skull at the end of the path by creating matches of three or more balls of the same color, which clears them from the board.
Gameplay
Click on the screen to shoot a ball where you want it to go. Create matches of three or more balls of the same color to clear them from the board.
Complete each level by filling the Zuma bar. Once full, no new balls will appear, but you still have to remove the remaining balls.
Prevent the advancing balls from reaching the skull—if they do, you’ll lose a life. Three lives are given at the start of the game. If you run out of lives, the game goes back to level 1.
Power-ups
There are several power-ups in the Zuma’s Revenge game:
- Bomb: When matched, clears surrounding balls with an explosion.
- Accuracy: Enhances shot precision and speed, helping you target more accurately.
- Slowdown: Temporarily reduces the speed of the advancing balls when triggered.
- Tri-Shot: Fires three powerful shots at once, destroying everything in their path.
- Rewind: After matching, the balls go in the opposite direction.
Levels
This online web version of Zuma’s Revenge features 20 levels of Zuma fun!

When making a match, each ball is worth 10 points.
The points per ball can increase with a Chain Bonus and Combo Bonus:
- Chain Bonus: Consecutive matches (after at least five in a row).
- Combo Bonus: Multiple matches in a single shot.
Extra points can be earned as follows:

- Finishing a level fast enough by beating Ace Time.
History
Zuma’s Revenge was released on Steam on 15 September, 2009. Later, a stripped-down Flash version (a demo version) was released. This is the version we have on this page. It is unknown when this Flash version was released exactly.
The Flash version only has one game mode and 20 levels, whereas the Steam version has four game modes and more levels.
The developer of Zuma’s Revenge is PopCap Games.

Tips and Tricks
- The shooting frog shows the ball you are going to shoot, as well as the color of the next ball. Press SPACEBAR to switch to the next ball. This can be very useful to create long combo's.
- Some levels have multiple locations (lily pads) where your frog can shoot balls from. Jump to an empty lily pad by clicking on it. Use the ability to jump location to your advantage.
- When creating a gap, the first part of the chain stays in place, except if the last ball of the first part is the same as the first ball of the last part. The magnetic power between these same-colored balls will pull the front part of the chain backwards on the track. This can be useful to know when the advancing balls almost reach the skull.
