Add game to your favorites
This is a fun but fast-paced ball chain game where players must shoot 3 in a row. This tile matching game is patterned after the famed 2003 PopCap hit game Zuma.
- Place your cursor near balls of the same color as the one in your right hand and click your mouse to shoot your ball.
- Repeatedly make 3 in a row and destroy all balls in the chain before the ball chain gets to the exit point.
- If you break a chain and balls of the same color are on either side of the chain it will pull the front chain back and can cause a secondary reaction.

Frogtastic Game Play Instructions
How to Play
Shoot balls of the same color at the chain to get three in a row and destroy the chain before it gets near the level exit.
- Game Mechanics
- The chain keeps moving until either you destroy all the balls in it or it reaches the end of the level and you lose.
- The game has 13 levels.
- Your progress is stored in your local web browser.
- As you progress through the game the balls move faster and the level design gets more complex.
- If you lose you can start the game again from the beginning of the game or click on the double arrow to bring up the level overview page and start on any level you have already played, including the one you died on.
- Shooting Balls at the Chain
- Your mouth contains the ball you will shoot while the next shot after appears on your back.
- Aim your mouse cursor near where balls of the same color as the one in your right hand appear then click your mouse to shoot your ball at the chain.
- When you get three in a row the balls will remove from the chain.
- In general it is better to aim your balls near the front of the chain rather than further back later on the chain.
- Be careful when aiming around corners where the ball can hit the wrong spot.
- If you have a ball you can not easily use and there is a clear part of the screen you can throw the ball away in the direction where it will not hit anything.

We offer a few other versions of the same game with different aesthetic designs.
- The Sorcerer – similar to Frogtastic, but the main character is a wizard.
- Christmas Chain – Santa shoots balls in a wintery themed design.
- Halloween Chain – Halloween themed colors.
Frogtastic has a pleasing aesthetic, but it does have a couple frustrating issues when compared against some of the other games in the series.
- Butterflies which fly through the screen can be distracting.
- On some levels overgrowth blocks your vision.
- While seeing the “next” ball on your back is convenient, if your vision is focused on where the ball is landing you may think the next up ball is the color of the current active ball (since the ball in your backside shows more surface area than the one in your mouth) and accidentally shoot it at the wrong spot.
If you enjoy this game you may want to check out the original Zuma series. They offer their games in a variety of apps, but many mobile gaming apps are notoriously ad heavy. Probably the best way to play many Zuma games would be to find a new or used version of PopCap Greatest Hits 3, Zuma’s Revenge, or PopCap Ultimate Collection on either Amazon.com or eBay. They offer PC versions (pictured below) as well as versions for game consoles including the XBOX 360 and the PlayStation 2.

Frogtastic is another marble matching game in the mold of Zuma. Your goal is to match three or more marbles to remove them from the queue. If even one marble lands on the end of the conveyor, it’s game over.
This game, however, adds an extra level of difficulty in each level. Foliage can obscure part of the marble chain. This adds an extra layer of difficulty to later levels. It’s hard to figure out where the marbles that match are once they’ve ended up in the thickets. Try this game out if you want a more challenging take on marble matching.
Frogtastic is a ball puzzle game that sharpens your planning skills. You have to anticipate the colors coming from the moving ball chain. Then, you must know where to correctly aim the colored ball. Once you shoot it next to two of the same colored balls, these are removed. Your goal is to remove all the balls from the track before it reaches the hole. If the ball chain gets too close to the hole, these all get sucked in, and it’s game over.
Compared to other Zuma-inspired games, this version puts a little more pressure on players. The ball chain moves faster, so you must make each shot count. Make sure to aim for the same colored balls. The frog’s head also tells you what color ball comes next after the one in it’s mouth. This can get tricky, though. Sometimes, you might mistake the next ball for the current ball, and make the wrong aim. Try to focus and to make the right target. But overall, this game is fun and easy to play. No wonder people play it again and again.
