Zuma is another example of a brilliant and simple idea that has turned into a bottomless sack of
cash. The gameplay can entice anyone in a matter of seconds and won't let go for days on end. There are people who spent several days without sleeping just to play this masterpiece.
The words of the developer are best suited to explain the game: "Unearth the ancient secrets of Zuma! Survive the hidden jungle temples... shoot magical balls to clear a deadly chain... avoid dangerous traps... and do it all before the chain reaches the golden skull". Simple, isn't it? Zuma will remain the iconic title for the casual game market and will probably always be regarded as the forefather of today's simple entertainment.
