About Zuma Boom
A classic Zuma puzzle that can be played either with mouse or touch. Make a line of 3 or more balls of the same color by shooting at the balls on the level. Don't let the balls reach the finish. Make chain matches to get bonuses!
How to play Zuma Boom
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
Difficulty in Zuma Boom comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
