最近，PopCap公司热门游戏Zuma Blitz（祖玛闪电战）继Bejeweled Blitz（宝石迷阵闪电战）之后，正式登陆Facebook社交网站。

据游戏邦了解，PopCap公司花费了近1年的时间开发Facebook版Zuma Blitz。这在通常只需2至3个月的社交游戏开发周期中十分罕见。社交游戏一般会在初步开发完成后开放公测版本，获取用户反馈及解决各种游戏运营问题。

此次PopCap希望该Zuma Blitz给广大玩家留下良好的第一印象，再创Bejeweled Blitz的成功传奇。目前，拥有1180万月活跃用户和410万日活跃用户的Bejeweled Blitz位居Facebook热门社交游戏第十位。

对此，PopCap宣言Bejeweled Blitz吸引玩家近4000万人，就日活跃用户及月活跃用户的比例而言，是“Facebook社交网站中最具吸引力的游戏”。另外，在Facebook平台之外，祖玛系列游戏的销量达到2000万份。

Facebook版Zuma Blitz将击球游戏与一分钟游戏的理念相结合，并每周发布新赛事，更新游戏等级，排行榜和经验积分等，玩家可以与朋友在Zuma Blitz中一较高下。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Five months after announcing the social game adaptation, PopCap Games has launched Zuma Blitz on Facebook, its second release on the platform after Bejeweled Blitz.

The company says it spent over a year working on the title, which is unusual in a market where developers usually build a project for two to three months before launching it with a public beta, releasing daily (sometimes hourly) updates to address bugs and player feedback.

PopCap likely wanted to ensure the game made a good first impression and to replicate the success its seen with Bejeweled Blitz — that puzzler is currently the tenth most popular game on Facebook with 11.8 million monthly active users and 4.1 million daily players.

The developer adds that Bejeweled Blitz has attracted almost 40 million users, and claims it’s “consistently the most engaging game on Facebook, as measured by the ratio of daily to monthly active users.” Outside of Facebook, the Zuma series has sold over 20 million units.

Zuma Blitz compresses the franchise’s ball-exploding concept into a one-minute experience, adding weekly tournaments and new level releases, leaderboards, an experience points system, the ability to compare medals and achievements with friends, and more.  （Source：Gamasutra）
