Just make sure you take a break from mousing occasionally so you don't get the dreaded 'Zuma Claw.' (It's real! Honest!) Zuma Blitz will be in beta within the next few weeks, stay turned for more details (and images from the game). So far the game seems to possess the same addictive quality as Bejeweled Blitz - it's just challenging enough that you'll keep going back to see if you can beat your high score. The game will also include experience points system as well. PopCap higher ups have been looking for ways to make money on their social games, and Zuma Blitz will apparently be the first test case. Unlike Bejeweled Blitz, Zuma Blitz will definitely include virtual currency (as in paid for with real-life-cash) that can be used to buy power-ups, which were not finalized in the version of the game we played today. To get rid of the 'curse,' you'll have to beat your challenger's score and pass the curse back to them. Once you beat a friend, you can curse them, and turn their Facebook photo on the leaderboard into something else, say, a picture of a sheep or cow. There's talk behind the scenes about adding more social features, namely a way to 'curse' your friends in the game. There's a living leaderboard at the bottom of the page, and once you get your big score, you have the option to post it to your Facebook Wall for bragging rights.

The social parts of the game are pretty limited right now, and those in the game right now are similar to those in Bejeweled Blitz. There are also balls with special multipliers that will help you send your score soaring to the heavens. You can actually shoot special balls that will extend time a little longer, which gives you just enough time to maximize your score. The one-minute thing is a bit of a misnomer, however. Much like Bejeweled Blitz, the Facebook version of the popular game gives you 60 seconds to bust as many balls as possible. So without me rambling on about how great the game is, try it out yourself by clicking HERE.At Casual Connect in Seattle, PopCap gave select members of the press a first look at their upcoming Facebook game, Zuma Blitz. Additional information on the in-game performances and status of your Facebook friends, such as medals won, achievements earned at various point thresholds and experience levelД®arning lives and more mojo as well as addition playtime (which is awarded by leveling up) is a rewarding experience for Zuma Blitz and I can easily say this is my favorite Facebook game as of now, a title which was previously held by PopCapвЂ™s other Facebook game, Bejeweled Blitz.вЂњHot FrogвЂќ speed mode for massive, section-clearing super shots.Time extenders, score multipliers and other powerful in-game accelerants.An вЂњexperience pointsвЂќ system to unlock additional power-ups and capabilities.Weekly tournaments and leader boards, with new game levels introduced each week.You can also compete against all of your friends to get the highest score of the week to earn a medal as well, so there is plenty of reason to come back. The delightfully addictive gem-matching puzzle game that started it all is back with brand-new. Each week the board changes as well as your scores. Zuma Blitz takes the classic game of Zuma and gives you one minute to get the highest score possible by smashing balls with a frog that spits them out on the board.

Now if you are now clueless by this new addiction I am speaking of, it is none other than Zuma Blitz.

That has all changed now as I am catching myself logging into facebook several times a day just to see my froggy friend as I bash the multi-colored balls of joy. Now beforehand I knew very little about the game aside from a brief experience or two in the past. For the past month or so I was lucky enough to obtain a вЂњgolden ticketвЂќ and be a beta tester for Zuma Blitz.
