I know I’ve said this a million times, but Zuma is one of my favorite casual games ever. It’s so approachable and easy, but can quickly ramp up to be very challenging. Plus, it’s a frog barfing marbles — you’ve gotta love that.
It’s not just me that loves Zuma. PopCap says that this puzzler is thier second best-selling franchise, with 20 million units sold worldwide. The series is about to make its Facebook debut with Zuma Blitz, an adaptation that has a bunch of social features added to the marble barfing fun.
Zuma Blitz is going to be evolved over time, but here’s what you can expect now:
- leaderboards
- tournaments
- regularly added new levels
- updates on friends’ performance in-game
- virtual currency for in-game power-ups
As far as new features goes, there’s time extenders, score multipliers, and a “Hot Frog” speed mode.
I don’t love Facebook games, but it’s going to be hard for me to resist a social Zuma.
