Zumar Deluxe is an adventure bubble shooter similar to Zuma. As an explorer in search of treasure, the player follows a hot air balloon through tropical locales across hundreds of levels. During their trip, they destroy marbles that roll down paths with a turtle shooter and projectiles. In each level, they must destroy an entire train of marbles before it reaches a hole under a skull and crossbones black pirate flag.
The turtle holds the main projectile in its mouth and a secondary one in the top of its shell. The player can only explode marbles by creating chains of three or more color-matched ones. When they clear every marble from a path or paths, they receive points and stars.
Zumar Deluxe offers many opportunities to destroy the marble train faster via boosters. On the right side of the field, the player receives fireball meteors that destroy different spots at a time, nitrous oxide bombs that blow up one section, balls that match and explode any color, paintbrushes that change the color to match the projectile, and double arrows that reverse the train.
These boosters also randomly appear in floating, clear bubbles. The player activates these and other boosters, such as a clock that stops the train, by shooting the bubbles with projectiles. If they run out of boosters, they can use green rubies to buy more. They can earn additional rubies by viewing videos.
