Eliminate the threat by shooting colored balls in the path.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone not only makes phone calls but is also a good source of fun especially in games. If you want a heart-pumping game that will test your finger skills and quick thinking, perhaps you can try your hands on Zum Zum from innerActive.

What is Zum Zum?

The game is situated in the ancient city of Egypt where pyramids tower the lands and pharaohs rules the kingdom. The game presents you with a “game board” that has a carved pathway in stone. On one end is a hole that releases multi-colored balls that move towards another hole at the end of the path. Your task is to shoot different multi-colored balls towards the path and hope to form three-colored balls. When you do, this will eliminate that set of balls and lessen the chances of the ending the game. How will it end? Once the balls stack up and it reaches the end of the hole, then the game is over.

At the left side of the screen is the up and down arrows that guide your shooter’s movement. When you are ready to shoot, press the icon that looks like a target.

To know the color of the balls you will be shooting, check out the roster located at the lower right portion of the screen.

There are special items you can use. Sometimes, you can use a rocket to eliminate certain balls in the path. Or you can also use this colored beach ball to eliminate similar colored balls in the path.

Each stages brings you closer to your prize.

My Take on Zum Zum

Zum Zum is similar to the game Zuma by PopCap games.

Zum Zum is addicting. I’m not too sure how many stages this game has. But it is so fun to play. It does need some strategy, cunning and precision.

The graphics are very well done though it does look like an old 8-bit Nintendo inspired screen.  The sounds is also very good which makes use of your Nokia 5800’s internal speakers (which is loud).

However, one drawback is that this game needs to connect to a WIFI or internet connection to play. Apparently, it uses advertisement from sponsors so you can play this game for FREE. Now, the problem is that if you do not have a  WIFI internet connection or you are unable to connect to your carrier’s internet connection, you will not be able to play this game at all. I think that is the price to pay to play for FREE.

And, sometimes, a message pops up telling us about the advertisements. For others, this might leave a bad taste in the mouth. For me, it is tolerable since it is FREE and the game is really that good. Why complain?

Controls are good and responsive. You just need to get used to it since the screen is flat with no protruding navigation controls.

My Verdict on Zum Zum

I love playing this game even though it does have its occasional advertising messages. It’s a small price to pay to play for FREE. However, maybe then can consider having a paid version so we can play this game even if we do not have an internet connection.

The Zum Zum game can be downloaded for FREE at the Ovi Store (http://store.ovi.com/content/770085CA419F9C85E040050A87321ACD).

Just register to access the site and download this application straight to your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. Be sure to install the Ovi Store Application in your phone and search for it there.
