The Zuma clone invasion

July 30th, 2005 Posted in general

Recently there has been a flood of Zuma clones. While personally I don’t like much casual games, I must say that Zuma clones are quite fun even for me :) A new game that just came out, Atalantis is a very good example.
Made by a friend with the powerful PTK, shows what can be achieved in short time (the rumours talk about 2 months of development time) if you have the right skills!
