Zumaic Exodus

Zumaic Exodus is the 21st level pattern found in Zuma Deluxe. It initially appears on level 9-7 and then reappears on level 12-7. This level is known to be one of the most challenging to conquer due to its short length and fast ball speed. Players are required to showcase their skills in creating combos, chain bonuses, and gap bonuses. Unlike other maps like the spiral of doom and landing pad, the path in Zumaic Exodus is reversed, starting from the inner ring and ending in the outer ring. This means that players cannot eliminate unnecessary balls unless a gap is created. Moreover, players can only target balls in the inner ring, especially when they are approaching the skull, unless they manage to achieve a gap bonus. Many seasoned players have struggled and lost all their frogs while attempting to complete this level.
== Description ==
Zumaic Exodus features a deep blue backdrop adorned with delicate light blue lines and triangular patterns. The focal point of the design is a blue skull positioned slightly towards the center, from which the lines extend towards the bottom left of the skull.
== Levels ==
Stage 9 concludes with Level 9-7, which also marks the final level of Popo Poyolli. Upon completion, the hidden Shrine of Zuma becomes accessible.
Level 12-7 is the second-to-last level in Zuma Deluxe, coming after Space.
== Tips ==
* Given the rapid and confined characteristics of this level, the optimal approach involves sealing numerous openings while refraining from interrupting the flow by redirecting balls backwards. Exercise caution when creating extensive combinations, as the line may accelerate to the extent of concealing the newly added balls. This can result in a challenging predicament, if not an outright defeat, making it arduous to recover from.
* Perpendicular angles should be given priority. Due to the Frog's placement, it will be challenging to hit balls near the Skull due to the extended distance and the gap that needs to be bridged in order to reach them. This often requires a transversal angle that demands greater accuracy to fill correctly without introducing any unnecessary balls.
* Adjust your shots slightly higher when hitting balls near the net to account for the distance and remember that taking a pause can also be beneficial.
== Trivia ==
* The codename of this game is inversespiral
* An Exodus is a great departure of people. Zumaic Exodus as the last "normal" level of the game, would tell the tale of the Zuma people abandoning their cities and temples, presumably evading (or finding) their demise as presented by the skull at the beginning of the trail.
