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.

Halloween Chain 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 right hand contains the ball you will shoot and your left hand contains the next ball you will shoot.
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.

Halloween Chain – Zuma Inspired Witch Ball Chain Game
We offer a few other versions of the same game with different aesthetic designs.
The Sorcerer – Wizard themed game similar to both the holiday themed chain games.
Frogtastic – similar to The Sorcerer, but the main character is a frog.
Christmas Chain – Santa Clause shoots balls in a wintery themed design.
Halloween Chain is comparable to any of the other games in this series. The big differences or exceptions would be:
The “up next” ball in your left hand is a bit hard to see unless you are intensely focused on it. This is true of both of the holiday chain games as well, while Frogtastic makes it easier to see what game is next.
The game playing field in the Christmas Chain game is clearer than the Halloween Chain game, but the Halloween Chain game is far clearer than Frogtastic.
Design can impact mood and everyone is different, but I found the Christmas version of this game to be the most aesthetically pleasing. The witch drawing looks great and pumpkins in Halloween Chain are cute, but the balls in the Christmas Chain game look like transparent glass marbles, which remind me of childhood playing. 🙂
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.
This game is rendered in mobile-friendly HTML5, so it offers cross-device gameplay.

It’s another holiday reskin of The Sorcerer and uses the same music pack as the Christmas edition. The gameplay is similar. Clear marbles by matching three or more of the same color. Don’t let the marbles reach the end of the conveyor. Like its other iterations, the game gets more difficult a few levels in. Work fast to clear out as many marbles as you can.
Halloween Chain is a ball puzzle game inspired by Zuma. Enjoy shooting multi-colored Halloween pumpkins thrown by the witch. It has the same objectives as the old Zuma, which is to shoot the same colored balls to remove them from the board. You do this while the ball chain inches slowly toward the hole. Once the ball chain moves too close to the hole, it gets sucked in. This ends the game.
You simply point your cursor where you want to shoot, then click. Once you shoot next to three of the same colored balls, they will be eliminated. Try to plan your shots strategically. When you remove the balls, consider whether the next colors will also be eliminated. Also shoot over two balls lines up in the same color. This will make it faster to clear the board. It’s a fun game you can play at your own pace. Just don’t take too long per level.
