Zuma is a puzzle video game developed by PopCap Games for the Xbox 360. Players control a stone-emitting frog and aim to eliminate chains of colored stones before they reach a gold skull. The game features two modes: Adventure, with 13 challenging levels, and Gauntlet, which tests survival against an endless stream of stones. Players can earn bonuses through combos and special stones that alter gameplay.
Vibrantly colored stones spiral relentlessly toward the gaping jaws of a cursed gold skull. Fire stones from the frog idol’s mouth to create a chain of three or more like-colored stones and make the string disappear. Clear the temple of all the stones before they are devoured. Some balls send the stones rolling backwards, others slow the pace, and still others help guide your aim. Coins, combos, gap shots and Ace Times can earn you bonus points. Advance through the 13 increasingly difficult levels in Adventure mode. Success there unlocks additional levels in Gauntlet mode, where the stones never stop coming, and you must stay alive as long as you can.
