### 1/5 — Very very bad graphics

*2013-06-01, version 1.0*

The colors all look the same, very hard to play like that! I deleted! I can't stand to watch this colors on that background

### 1/5 — Bad everything

*2013-05-26, version 1.0*

Music bad, graphics bad, bad!!!! Deleting it now

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2013-05-19, version 1.0*

This game has terrible controls and the balls don't go where u aim them and the colors are 2 similar don't get this game!!!!!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2013-02-24, version 1.0*

Controls are terrible. Bad game.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2013-02-24, version 1.0*

Very bad attempt at this classic

### 1/5 — Poorly colored

*2013-02-23, version 1.0*

I love Zumba but the coloring of the balls is hard to distinguish on my ipad2 so I removed it.

### 1/5 — Terrible design

*2013-02-23, version 1.0*

The balls don't go where I push for them to go. The blue and white colors are way too similar which makes the game unnecessarily difficult. When there are no balls of a certain color left, the center piece keeps giving you that color which just wastes time, causing the chain to get closer to the end and making it that much more difficult. I say find a new game to play, this one is just awful, the designers of this one should find a new line of work, app games aren't their specialty.

### 1/5 — Terrible graphics

*2013-02-18, version 1.0*

It's hard to distinguish the different colors due to bad graphics. It has that 'copy of a copy - of a copy' look to it. Very grainy. (Had to edit this review 2/18/13 because my ONE star rating mysteriously changed to four stars!) I now wish I could give it zero. One is too many.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2013-02-18, version 1.0*

Freezes up on level 7 every time! Even if I uninstall it & reload it.

### 1/5 — Very budget

*2013-02-17, version 1.0*

This game is not very good tbh. As the levels progress more colours are introduced which are too close to eachother and look similar e.g light blues and blues and sometimes even green. Therefore leaves the player confused :s and you end up losing the game because of this.

### 1/5 — Poor knock off

*2013-02-17, version 1.0*

Very poor knock off of Zuma,  this may be free, but not even worth the memory space it takes.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor

*2013-12-05, version 1.3*

Made me dizzy and have headache due to poor color contrast.

### 1/5 — Where is the game?

*2013-10-07, version 1.3*

This app continually takes me to a site advertising another game. Cannot play the game.

Using iPad 3 on iOS 7.

### 1/5 — Not like the original

*2013-09-04, version 1.2*

This app freezes ALL the time. Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Colors indistinguishable

*2013-08-30, version 1.2*

Too hard on the eyes.

### 1/5 — Don't other

*2013-08-25, version 1.2*

Poor resolution painful to the eyes when played on IPad ith retina display.

### 1/5 — Good and bad

*2013-08-08, version 1.2*

The game has some things I liked and some things I didn't like.

The good--basic Zuma action, trick balls, many different patterns.

The bad--after the first few levels the balls become difficult to tell apart and the balls don't always bounce in the way they should. Also, you can't swap balls now.

I tried it in an iPad 2, but I deleted it out of frustration.

### 1/5 — Deleted quickly

*2013-07-01, version 1.1*

The colours are too similar. A poor version of a classic game. Shame...

### 1/5 — Wont do anything

*2013-06-30, version 1.1*

Just sits there! Wont do a thing! Fail

### 1/5 — Zuma? Not exactly...

*2013-06-10, version 1.0*

This bears a passing resemblance to Zuma, Atlantis Sky Patrol, et al.

Passing, mind you.

What's wrong with it?  Well...

1) The graphics are half-baked at best, and the colors are washed-out and (in some cases) difficult to distinguish.

2) The music (if you can call it that) makes me try to claw my brain out.

3) No internal controls that I could discern.

A few more iterations and this game might be something.  For now, a big thumbs dow.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2013-06-01, version 1.0*

Would love to play this game as I enjoy all zumas but the colours of the bubbles are terrible and difficult to differentiate from one another.

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good.

*2013-11-05*

Enjoy this a lot. Addicting. Fun.

### 3/5 — Decent but too slow and colors hard to see

*2013-09-15, version 1.2*

See title

### 2/5 — Ancient ball shooting

*2014-01-25, version 1.3*

This is a fun game, but because of the 

lack of the balls' color contrast, I do not play this game often. Please fix this feature!

### 2/5 — Meh

*2013-10-08, version 1.3*

No way to turn off music or sound effects.  

Low contrast between colors makes game extra difficult.

### 2/5 — Ancient zuma

*2013-08-26, version 1.2*

Fun, but the some of the colors are too close to being the same. It makes it difficult to tell which is which.

### 2/5 — ancient zuma

*2013-06-06, version 1.0*

Ok so the app freezes up i have deleted it once and i am bout to have to again ,the balls get stuck in the sucker upper.  First time I deleted it before it froze on level 9 then now it is froze up on level 7. And when I got done with level 10 and going to level 11 it started me over at level 1.

### 2/5 — Not awesome

*2013-05-24, version 1.0*

U can't tell the difference between the colours

### 2/5 — Crashes continuously...

*2013-05-23, version 1.0*

Really fun game but it crashes. Also there are only 10 levels.

### 2/5 — Fix graphics!!!

*2013-02-21, version 1.0*

A few of the colors are way too similar, this makes playing the game extra difficult for no reason! Please change colors!!!
