Zuma Blitz - Tips and Tricks

Today is a new week and so the Zuma Blitz board has been changed.  Every Tuesday the board changes and this week it's pretty challenging.  I figured since I have been playing a lot lately and I'm up to level 42 that I would share with you all some tips and tricks I have learned along the way.

Zuma Blitz
Shot of the new rollout
As I said in my previous Zuma post when you level up you get new things, more mojo, and more golden idols.  Not only do you get new power ups when you level up, but you also get stronger power ups when you level up as well.  For example if you look above I am using a power up called Mega Hurrah.  It used to be just a Last Hurrah, but now it's a Mega Hurrah and at the end of the game you get double the amount of points for special balls left on the rollout at the end of the game.  The only downside is that it cost 1,000 Mojo to use the Mega Hurrah as opposed to the 500 Mojo it used to cost.

New Fruits
As you level up you also get new fruits.  As you can see in the upper left hand corner the new fruit looks like a miniature pineapple as opposed to when you start off with what looks like a green apple.  The new fruits have a higher amount of points.

Large Chains
Tip #1: Try to get large chains for more points by never missing a combo.  Above I have a Chain of x63.  I hit a combo with every ball for the entire game.

Tip #2: Always keep in mind the coloured ball you have coming up next.  You can swap the ball you are about to shoot with the one that comes after it by either right clicking with your mouse or by using the spacebar on your keyboard.

Tip #3: Try to shoot between the gaps.  You get more points for hitting balls between the gaps.  Also the smaller the gap the higher the points will be.

That is all, but keep checking back for new Zuma Blitz tips and tricks.
