Zuma Deluxe

Strong game design. Holds up even to this day. That is the beauty of strong game design.

Zuma is an amazing game. It is a classic game, nothing too fancy, but just a solid and fun game. I spent a lot of time playing this with my grandma. Good times.

¶ Old but gold. Super fun and relaxing game from my childhood. I remember playing it with my sister on her PC back in the day.
So much nostalgia. I absolutely love it.

¶ It's difficult to stop once you get into this dynamic and addictive gameplay. Zuma is one of the greatest casual puzzle games ever created, even after all these years.

0.99 CENTS WHAT A GEM im pretty sure this was my very first game when i was a kid

old but a classic, cant beat it though :(

Love to turn the sound down and play while listening to a podcast or TV show.

recycles maps after stage 3 very uncool

Remember when Popcap made simple but very fun games for pocket money prices?

This is one of them. I think back in the days of games coming on CD's I must of played this a thousand times, it does exactly what it needs to do and promises you with a little style thrown in.

Certified millennium classic.

Solid arcade game. Hard but satisfying.

what a classic this is. and it still holds up today. also cheap af.

this game is too good
i have cracked the game before and then i bought it yestrday
i think i have more than 20+ hours or maybe much more
i really don't know for how much time i have been playing it
all because of the last stage is so sooooooooo hard and there is the rng hell
but it's my favorite game of all time
it was my first enjoyable game back when i discovered the computer as kid
and i still love it from the bottom of my heart
when i play it i can turn off my brain a little bit
then it hit's me with this final moments of stress
it's just a really engaging , simple , fun to explore and try out
i miss the days when i the games where like zuma
fun , short , great concept , simple but good gameplay loop
the games now days are'nt engaging in the same way
they are becoming more and more " realistc boring " type of thing

Takes me back to the days of Playing Flash Games on my Mothers old a$$ laptop

In the shaka Zuma!
Plot are confusing, but great at teaching how to use a mouse on early computer systems.

very good for grandmas lol she plays it every day

Zuma Deluxe is an absolute gem in the world of puzzle games. Its timeless appeal and addictive gameplay make it a perfect blend of casual fun and challenging mechanics. The premise is simple: shoot colored balls to form groups of three or more to clear them from the screen, but the depth comes from how it challenges the player to think quickly and strategically.

One of the standout features of Zuma Deluxe is its visually captivating design. The vibrant colors, lush environments, and smoothly animated backgrounds draw players in, creating a sense of immersion that is rare for a game of this genre. The music and sound effects complement the visual elements perfectly, providing a rhythmic pulse that keeps you hooked as you navigate each level.

The game offers a variety of stages, each introducing unique obstacles and power-ups, ensuring that no two levels feel quite the same. The challenge ramps up gradually, pushing players to refine their skills and think ahead. The introduction of various ball speeds and paths also keeps the gameplay dynamic and engaging, making each level feel like a new puzzle to solve.

Zuma Deluxe doesn’t just offer a mindless gaming experience; it makes you feel accomplished after each level you complete. The satisfying sound of balls popping and the joyful satisfaction of clearing an entire chain of colored spheres is incredibly rewarding. The game also has a fantastic replayability factor, with players striving to earn the highest scores and complete levels in the most efficient way possible.

Overall, Zuma Deluxe is an excellent example of a game that perfectly balances accessibility and depth. Its charming visuals, challenging puzzles, and immersive atmosphere make it a must-play for puzzle enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. Whether you’re looking for a quick game session or a more extended challenge, Zuma Deluxe delivers in every way.

El mejor juego de la historia

best game of all time

It's Zuma. Can't ask for much more. Perfect lil' game to kill time over. Been doing that for over 20 years here.
Just get ready to patch a few things up for perfect functionality, just in case the device you're playing on is a little bit more high-end.

I can't look away

This game has a heavy nostalgia factor for me. I played it first when i was 5 and it is to this day one of my favorite games to play and kill some time. My mom and I will still from to time try and see who can get a better score on any one level. i still have yet to beat her once.
anyways i love this game and give it a 10/10

Absolute classic.
Never managed to actually beat the game back in the day.
Now, 20 years of my life... I've done it... I see the light✨

i Played game for couple days it was working fine. Now its not opening properly. when i launch game white screen is opening and nothing else. tried by verifying files, reinstalling game still same issue

Very fun nostalgia

best casual game.
ZUMA!

Super fun game! Really easy to get into as well!

It's a fun way to pass the time if you are trying to get away from scrolling on short form content. Real brain teaser!

I realized I was getting old when I started playing the game my dad used to play in 2011

you know, this is a pretty decent game. Sadly it has no replay ability. But anyways, ima grind for another 1000 hours.

Game jadul cuman masih seru untuk di mainkan

YOOOOO! This gameplay is FIRE

Игра поколения.

Девятый уровень - капец сложный!

Inga Chinga ZUMA!
Now I am ascend to sky where true god become!

good game\

its obvious; this is the best popcap game of all time.

I had an old computer and out of all the games I liked this one. I really like the style of the game and the pleasing sounds, the best game of all the arcades, bought it because I had a pirated version, thanks to the developers PopCap!

I used to play a 'demo' version on a cable box as a kid, so seeing this on steam for very cheap was absolutely satisfactory to me.
Very nostalgic, very fun. I spent an hour straight playing this game. It's fun and addicting. Pretty awesome :)

This game is simple, but highly addictive and entertaining. Plus, it'll run on a toaster - my Pentium II laptops can attest to this (I have an old copy I use to install to them). This game gets installed to any old computer I find, and I usually end up playing it then and there for a solid few hours.

I have over 700 games in my Steam library, a decent PC, Quest 3 headset, PS5
and I'm playing Zuma.

It's a great game and highly addictive but I wish it had color blind mode for weirdos like me who can't tell the difference between yellow and green.

Zuma Deluxe Review: When Fun Turns into Frustration

Zuma Deluxe starts as a simple, enjoyable marble shooter with a satisfying gameplay loop: match colors, clear chains, and aim for high scores. But as you progress deeper into the later levels, that initial fun transforms into a maddening exercise in futility, thanks to what can only be described as sadistic and unfair RNG mechanics.

The game feels deliberately designed to work against the player. Ball spawns often seem less random and more like a calculated attack. You'll frequently receive colors that are completely unusable with the current visible chain, forcing you to either dump shots into awkward places or watch helplessly as the chain inches closer to the dreaded death skull. This isn’t just an occasional annoyance—it’s a consistent problem, making levels feel less like a test of skill and more like a roll of the dice rigged against you.

The so-called "random" ball generation gets worse as the game progresses, seemingly punishing players who clear balls quickly by introducing a relentless stream of mismatched colors. Even the power-ups, which should be a reprieve, become rare when you need them the most. Combined with twisting, overlapping track designs and lightning-fast ball speeds, the game feels less like a challenge and more like a cruel joke.

Zuma Deluxe isn’t about honing your skills; it's about surviving an onslaught of bad luck. And that’s what makes it so fundamentally unfun. When success hinges less on your strategy and more on whether the game decides to bless you with a usable color, frustration inevitably replaces enjoyment.

While it's easy to appreciate the game's polished visuals and catchy sound design, the sheer unfairness of its later levels leaves a bitter aftertaste. Players looking for a test of skill will instead find themselves battling an unfair algorithm that strips away the joy of mastery.

If you're a glutton for punishment or enjoy raging against brutal game design, Zuma Deluxe might be for you. For everyone else, save yourself the stress—there are plenty of other games that respect your time and skill.

This is a game that requires skill, patience, and determination. I think it is very fun to play. I've been playing it on and off for 15 years or so. It starts out slow and becomes more fast-paced as you progress through each level. I have yet to beat level 9, but I am not giving up! I highly recommend it.

Este juego es 100% infancia para mi y es 100% igual de bueno como lo recordaba.

It's nice to remember that games like this used to just be available on your PC to play without adverts everywhere and in-app purchases offered to you every 10 seconds. Too bad it doesn't seem we can get back to this any time soon.

SUCH A GOOD GAME!
Man, this gave me such good flashbacks to when i was really, really young and played this with my father. I do remember it being way harder, but i guess that's what 20 years of gaming do for you.
NOW I'M SAD I FINISHED IT!!!

My math teacher told me to buy this game to focus more on my math problems and it work 10/10

It requires total concentration and does not allow you to think about anything else. Also, this keeps my fingers limber and my reflexes sharp. This game has seen me thru some tough times.
Thanks

That frog could spit out my b... anyway, GOATed game with soundtrack you can chill to all night. Playing it almost 20 years ago on family pc, figuring out the best strategy to plock the damn balls or watching as your friends grandpa plays it was experience you can never repeat or replace. We may live in better times for gaming, but those back then were happier for sure.

Zuma is one of those games that I have played nonstop since I can remember. This is good old PopCap games, definitely one of my favorites coupled with Peggle and Plants VS Zombies. I wish there was some kind of reboot, but this one does satisfy my craving of playing it.

The game cannot get to full screen,it stressed me out

This game is like crack, I'm too addicted to it.
