Zingoz Pop is all about matching colors and popping bubbles. It’s a simple game, and you can earn lots of kinzcash by playing it. Here’s my overview of Zingoz Pop, as well as some tips for playing the game.
First, and this is very important, if you want to win the trophy, you have to play in “normal” mode. You cannot win the trophy in “easy” mode. Easy mode only has 10 levels. Normal mode has 30 levels, and you must pass all 30 levels to win the trophy.
If you need to get more familiar with the game and get a feel for how you can bounce the bubbles off of the wall, spend some time playing in easy mode.
At the beginning of each level in easy mode, you’ll get a yellow line that shows you exactly where your bubble is going to go when you shoot it. Sometimes in order to make the most efficient moves, you need to bounce a bubble off one of the side walls. Using the line guide to practice will help you learn how the bounces work.
So what is Zingoz Pop all about?
The basic idea behind Zingoz pop is simple. You start with a formation of colored bubbles. As time goes by, the bubbles slowly descend downward. You must clear (or pop) all of the bubbles before they pass the “game over” line near the bottom of the screen.
In order to clear bubbles, you must group bubbles of the same color together. Connect three or more bubbles of the same color, and the bubbles will “burst” or “pop,” clearing them from the board.
Bubbles are shot out of a cannon at the bottom of the screen. You use your arrow keys to move the cannon left and right.
You’ll notice a colored ball on the cannon – that tells you what color the NEXT bubble will be, so in order to plan your moves you must remember the color one move in advance.
Don’t worry, though. This isn’t as tricky as it may sound. Once you’ve played Zingoz Pop a few times you’ll get the hang of it.
At the beginning of the game, you’ll be given the chance to choose one of four boosters.
Each booster does something special that will help you clear the board faster.
In order to earn a booster, you must clear a group of sparkling bubbles.
Sparkling bubbles look like this:
Sparkling bubbles appear randomly, and lose their sparkle after a few seconds. Once the sparkle is gone, so is your chance to earn a booster!
My favorite booster is the Burst Bubble, the one that looks like a rainbow.
The Burst Bubble’s special power is to clear all of the bubbles of the same color. For example, if you use your Burst Bubble to hit a yellow bubble, all of the yellow bubbles will disappear.
Here’s the Burst Bubble in action:
There’s also the Bowling Ball, which really does look like a bowling ball.
This booster will allow you to blast through a line of bubbles. The Bowling Ball can be a big help if you’re stuck in a jam, particularly if your bubbles are getting really close to the “game over” line.
Take a look at the Bowling Ball being used in game play:
Now let’s talk about the Super Bubble.The Super Bubble is the one with the star.
This booster pops all the bubbles it touches. I also think the Super Bubble is good for quickly getting out of a sticky situation.
Here’s how the Super Bubble works:
Last is the Line Guide. The Line Guide is the same yellow line that you get at the very beginning of the game.
It guides you in pointing the cannon the right direction in order to get your bubble to land in a certain spot. The Line Guide is my least favorite booster because it won’t get you out of a jam or clear a lot of bubbles instantly. Everything the Line Guide does is something you can learn on your own with a bit of practice.
The Line Guide looks like this:
One interesting thing about Zingoz Pop is that the levels don’t necessarily get progressively hard as the game goes on. Same of the later levels are actually pretty easy, while some of the earlier levels are quite challenging. Each level is different and presents a unique challenge. There’s a lot of skill involved in Zingoz Pop, but unfortunately, there’s an element of luck, too. Sometimes you just don’t get the colors you need in order to make it work.
Zingoz Pop is a game that most anyone can master with time and practice. Levels that use to really stump me now seem easy, but I’m still a long way from the trophy. So far I’ve only made it to level 16. Level 7 is still a tough one for me, and I usually lose at least one life on Level 7.
