Zuma Tips/Tricks/Vids?

[syrath]

Heya all, in an effort to put the smack down on WW Zuma, I need to up my game. Does anyone have any tips/tricks that they'd like to share?

I average around 27k on the WW Zuma Easy games, but need to kick it up a notch to increase my win %

I've seen a strat on the tube for a player that scores big by racking up a combo chain... resulting in approx 10k per level for levels 1 and 2.

I can usually score just a tad higher on lvl 1 by creating "double gaps" then pinging the double gap bonuses for big pts. Lvl 3 however doesn't path in a manner that would safely create plausible double gaps. So, I just shoot single gaps since my combo chain execution is teh suck.

Any pointers? TIA!

Egads! I re-watched the videos on the tube of Ovivi<something> and failed to notice the end/time bonus he was getting. So... he's scoring 17kish on round one, not 10K.

Looks like I need to practice my "chaining" I R teh suck

Ovivi is the only really good Zuma player that visits the forum...yeah, you're better off watching his videos again & again and getting those chains down.

using only first two round you should be able to get 37000,,the secret lies in the third round, that so far, the secret hasn't been revealed. I think there's only about 15 ppl that know this secret because i always get 16th and above...

3rd round = gaps. It's tricky and hard to keep up.

I'm way out of practice but I may attempt it for my site

(I'm in now way close to Ovov's skill, but I think I have the method right)

3rd round = gaps..

let me correct you a little on this one... It's actually about double gaps. And very tricky to execute well.

You all know there's only 1 place to get double gaps on this level... so shouldn't be hard to plan for the strategy and also those who don't know yet, my zuma guide can be read on the premier club forums... or here:

Any advice on Zuma for king.com? I'm going to be visiting another state for a while and hopefully I'll have access to Zuma. I've checked out the youtube video's and it seems as tho the strategy is to clear each level as quickly as possible to max out a time bonus. So no big payoff for combo's or gap bonus, just speed speed speed? Is that the deal?

For the king.com version, it's half luck, half skill. First and foremost, you must take advantage of the the magnetic reaction made by matching colors. There is a glitch in the game where you can fool the combo system.
