Introduction
Pogo's Zuma's Revenge is the online version of their
electrifying puzzle game that combines great
graphics and sound effects with lightning
quick action that tests your reflexes and
logic. The action is progressive and the
difficulty increases with each level making it
harder to get high scores.
Zooma Buddy provides the much needed
respite for your brain and hands by scanning
your current Zuma's Revenge game and cracking the puzzle
for you. Zooma Buddy uses a simple visual
interface that graphically represents the best
move, making it simple for you to score major
points.
The Autoplay option enables Zooma Buddy to
play the game without any intervention from
you.

The Interface (GUI)
Getting to know the Zooma Buddy interface is easy. The main console provides a visual
reference to the current puzzle and the pieces on it. It also illustrates the upcoming balls available to shoot. Next is the Stats area where you can always be informed as to the number of games played,
highest score achieved, and total tokens earned. Below are the interactive buttons.
The interactive collapse button provides a helpful option for those trying to save space. The play hint and show hintfeatures
will do exactly that. And let us not forget the Autoplay feature! As the button suggests, this is where users can
engage Zooma Buddy in automatic play.
Zooma Buddy also offers an arrangement of menu options: Options, Rooms and Help. You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options menu allows you to access Zooma Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Zooma Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Zooma Buddy. It contains backdoors links to each of Pogo's Zuma's Revenge room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Zooma Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Bug Report feature to use when Zooma Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |
