Zuma is as simple as it is brilliant, and as brilliant as it is fun. Basically a puzzle game with levels; each level making it a little harder on the player. And the better you get, the more you’ll want to play. It’s easy to get really hooked on the game, even though there’s little variation.

You play as a frog who spits colored balls (it’s true!) and your mission is to stop a never ending chain of colored balls from reaching their destination. How? Simply by spitting a ball so that three or more of the same color lines up next to each other. Once you reach a certain point, the balls will stop coming and if you mange to get rid of them all you’re off to the next level. Simple, huh?

At first it’s quite easy, but the further you go, the harder it gets. And quite soon it gets really hard. After a while it can become a bit repetitive but for me, it took a long while. I got sucked into the whole concept and just kept on playing, trying and trying to finish the game. I finally did it, so now I’m looking for a new puzzle drug to steal my time and sanity.
