How to Improve on the Game Zuma

Use the right mouse button to change the color of the ball ready to fire. You can switch between two colors of the next ball that can be fired at the chain. This can be a great advantage when trying to make combos, which occur when you clear a line between spheres of the same color.

Build up the Zuma meter by creating combos. A perfect combo cascades into a series of explosions, starting from a middle line of spheres to bands of spheres of the same color expanding outward through the line. When you achieve "Zuma," try to clear the whole line for a bonus.

Perform tricks, particularly shooting through gaps to get point multipliers. When you break lines, they remain in place until the moving portion of the line in the rear reconnects them. If you manage to get multiple broken lines that reconnect in sequence, you are more likely to generate bonus items such as time bonuses and point spheres.
