About Orb Burst

Orb Burst is GameZumoza’s original 3D color-match shooter. You start with a single row of eleven small orbs. The field drops on a timer that begins at 15 seconds and tightens by half a second every 30 seconds (15, 14:30, 14, 13:30…). Reach 1000 points or survive a speed-up to raise the level.

How to Play Orb Burst

  1. Press Play. Aim with your pointer, finger, or Left/Right.
  2. Shoot the loaded orb into the 3D field (click, Space, or Shoot).
  3. Match three or more orbs of the same color to burst them.
  4. Disconnected groups fall and add bonus score.
  5. The field starts with one row and drops faster over time: 15 seconds, then 14:30, 14, 13:30, and so on every 30 seconds. Level goes up every 1000 points and at each speed-up. If any orb crosses the bottom, Game Over appears with Reset.

Objective

Tips for Playing Orb Burst

  • Bounce off the side rails to reach tucked-away orbs.
  • Set up a fourth matching orb before you fire if you can see it.
  • Dropping a hanging group is worth more than a minimum burst of three.
  • Watch the incoming color so you can park a shot for the next turn.

Is this a branded bubble-shooter clone?

No. Orb Burst is an original GameZumoza game inspired by the public match-group shooter genre.

How do I aim on a phone?

What happens when orbs hang after a burst?

If they are not connected to the top row, they drop and add bonus points.

Why do the orbs keep moving down?

It starts at 15 seconds, then every 30 seconds the wait shortens by half a second (14:30, 14, 13:30…). Your level also goes up at each speed-up and every 1000 points.
