Because of its success, Zuma has seen a number of other similar games in the market, most notably Luxor and Tumblebugs. These games sport the same gameplay mechanics with slightly different designs , with the PopCap Games creation serving as the template for all others.
The basic objective of Zuma is to complete levels by making all the balls explode. Each level has a clearly defined path through which a series of balls pass through. Before this happens, you have to eliminate the slowly-moving balls by completing sets of three or more from your trusty ball-spitting frog.
Your frog is fixed on a position and can only rotate on its axis. Aside from the active ball at the mouth of your frog, you can also see a spare one at its back, allowing you to switch between the two balls to make a better shot whenever possible. Also, there are bonuses such as coins for doing trick shots such as passing balls through gaps in the line or power-ups that slow down the movement of the balls or make them go backward for a short time. In terms of gameplay, the Aztec aesthetics give the game a unique identity that has helped it stand out from other games in the genre.
Also, the game becomes more complicated as it goes on. Some stages have a longer line of balls while other stages have multiple golden skulls you have to guard against the balls.
This gives the game additional challenges , despite its repetitive gameplay mechanics. Zuma has two main modes: Adventure and Gauntlet. This lets you practice your aim and your response, or you can play the survival mode where the continuous stream of balls gets faster over time. From the first to the last level, you are tasked with the same objective of eliminating the balls.

There are over different levels in Zuma Deluxe organized into different temples and stages. Each temple has multiple stages, and each stage has multiple levels. Each level presents a unique path for the chain of balls to travel, and some even have two chains to deal with. Some levels take the path through tunnels you can't fire balls into, or a path that winds around the frog blocking the outside part of the chain from your line of fire. The levels range from the simple and easy to the extremely complex and challenging.
The biggest downside is that despite the differences and changes that occur from level to level, there isn't much variety in the action. Zuma Deluxe does provide two different modes of gameplay.
Adventure Mode is the only one available at first. This mode takes your through the various levels and temples the game offers, which are then unlocked for the Gauntlet Mode when beaten. Gauntlet Mode has similar gameplay to Adventure Mode, but with a few changes. Rather than advancing through levels, you select only a single level to play on. You play your selected level with an endless chain of the colored balls. Your goal is to last as long as possible before the increasing colors and speed of the chain overwhelm you and finally reach the golden skull.
The difficulty level in Zuma Deluxe starts low and continues to ramp up as you progress through the game. You start with slow moving chains on simple paths and only a few ball colors to deal with. As you beat levels, the speed of the chain and complexity of paths continue to increase and some levels have you dealing with two chains, a challenging task.
The number of colors you need to deal with slowly increase as well, with up to six different colors to manage. Unfortunately, Zuma Deluxe does not provide any options to change the difficulty level.
Such an option would have been a nice addition to improve the game for players finding it too hard or too easy. However, the Adventure Mode should provide a good challenge for most players, while Gauntlet Mode can provide a tougher experience for more experienced or hardcore players. Additionally, levels provide various bonuses like coins that aren't necessary to complete the level but will reward a large number of points. These bonuses can add another element of difficulty for that group of players.
The controls in Zuma Deluxe are few in number and simple to use. You turn the stone frog to aim balls using the mouse. You fire the balls with a simple click.
