Zuma’s Revenge Headed to Mac!

ETA: PopCap says that Rick might have competition for being the overall best at Zuma in the form of Jackie Strickland…a 67 year old great-grandmother. Not your grandma’s game indeed. Also, a trailer has been revealed. Very cool!

ETA2: And catch the screens at the bottom, too.

PopCap Games has just announced that Zuma’s Revenge, the sequel to the incredibly popular Zuma, is headed to the Mac (oh, uh, and Windows). Zuma’s Revenge promises high-resolution graphics, wild new game mechanics, all-new modes and power-ups, and much more. The game is scheduled for release on September 15, with a list price of $19.95, and will be available both retail and download.

From the press release:

In Zuma the player takes the role of a fearless ball-shooting frog, exploring ancient temples and ruins. By firing colored spheres into an advancing chain of balls to make matches of three or more, the frog blasts his way through a series of arcade challenges. The sequel brings the player to an all-new setting, the Polynesian paradise of Zhaka Mu, and ups the ante with nearly triple the screen resolution of the original game, cool 3-D particle effects, and support for widescreen monitors. A full list of new features in Zuma’s Revenge! will be available at launch.

Only PopCap Games can make a game, whose main character is a ball-shooting frog, exciting.

What’s even more interesting is that they’ve got Rick Fortin beta-testing the game. If you’re a Zuma fan, you know Rick. He’s gotten the highest known score in Zuma…3,384,820 with 34 extra lives! What better person to beta-test the sequel.
