Zumba Story is a bubble shooter that features marbles. In a jungle, the player uses tribal-based shooters to shoot marble projectiles at snake-like trains of mixed marbles that roll on tracks toward holes. They must pop enough bubble marbles to achieve a target goal before a train reaches the hole and earn the most coins possible.
The player can only pop marbles by shooting a projectile at two or more adjacent matching ones. They receive a limited number of shots, as shown in the upper-right area. They can review the target in the upper-left area.
The game provides a mask shooter to start. It offers several different masks and other shooter options, including different treasures and frogs. The player purchases the other shooters with coins they collect as winnings and bonuses. They can also earn multiplied coins by viewing ad videos.
Each shooter has a main projectile in the mouth or base and a secondary projectile at the top. The player can swap these projectiles at any time to make a shot more effective. If they might risk adding extra unnecessary marbles to the train, they can also shoot away from it into the jungle without penalty.
Zumba Story also has different free and purchasable power-ups. Free ones typically appear as marbles in the train. These power-ups activate when included in a cluster of matching bubbles.
The player can also find a bomb, a fireball and a special rainbow marble power-up for sale. Additionally, while they play, they can charge a fire power-up inside of a round potion bottle at the top-center of the screen.
