This guide was written for Neoholic.com, but when NeoHolic gave NeoNewsNow it’s content,the guide came with it.
As you can see, Zurroball is a high ranked game by just looking at the score tables! And difficulty ranked it is over rated it should be at least medium it is mainly rated that probably because it’s Metal ball, Energy ball, and Eye ball are sort of tedious
Zurroball’s Menu
Okay, the menu for Zurroball is very confusing at first! That’s why this part is here as you can see below it explains the menu to the game Zurroball
1. Status/Moves
Number one as shown on images is for telling you your current status and tricks you pulled off.
When you complete a move (Boomerang, Around-the-world, Right Zurro, Left Zurro, etc.) it will keep track of them all and you can easily rack up a 10+ combo/move
What I meant by “status” is it also shows you how many balls/grundos you have left (number three also tells you) best clicks when game is over best combo at the end of the game so it is a little helper, it will also tell you your current score after losing a grundo and after losing game (also like number five above without the grundo status.)
2. Ball/grundo status and scoring point.
Number two shows a picture of your ball and will hold it in idle for 5 seconds after five seconds in idle it will drop or by clicking it will cause it to go into action so be ready.
The red neon flashing lights are the Scoring Point thus mean when a ball/grundo goes above it will count whatever combo/move you just pulled off will be counted in your score but I will get more detailed in scoring below
3. Ball Status
Well, the title pretty much explains it. It’s pretty simple it tells you how many balls/Grundos you currently have, it comes in handy too it tells you how many more chances you have before you go onto the great scoring in the sky.
4. Shadow
This shadow I’m talking about is a shadow that shows you when your Grundo is going to land this shadow moves side-to-side it will come in handy truly!
Simply hover your cursor above the shadow of the ball on the ground, this will usually help you determine where the ball is going to land in advance.
5. Scoring info
Yes, I finally got here! Well first I will talk about the menu for number five:
Best: This is the best score you have gotten threw the current game that you are playing.
Last: This is the last score you got after getting over the red bars it has a max limit of XXXX points on it I tested it
Total: This is your current total score not much to say.
Scoring Ranks
Free-Style: 1 point
Right-Zurro: 3
Left-Zurro: 3
Around-the-World: 10
Grounder: 1 NOTE: you always get ten of these
Boomarang 5 NOT CONFIRMED
These are the only ones I am aware of, if you know of any others please email the neoholic staff using the contact form and they will give you proper credit.
6.Send Score
This is for submitting you scores for getting your Neopoints just click “Submit Score” and it will bring you to a screen showing you that it is contacting the server then it will be processing your earnings, turning them into Neopoints and they should be added to your Neopoints total (lower left corner on the yellow bar).
7. Total Clicks
Best Clicks: These are the best clicks you have made: say before I scored (go over the red bar) I clicked on my Grundo/Ball 16 times that would be the best click I have made but it will change every time you do more and more clicks.
Last Clicks: The last amount of clicks you made cannot be higher then the Best Clicks, if it is it will be changed to the best
Current Clicks: This is to tell you so far how many clicks you have made before going over the red bar it could be 1 to XXXXX
Tips and Tricks:
Grundo as a ball: Click on the N on the Grundos space jacket to unlock a secret level where the Grundo in a space suit is the ball! No joke!
Big Scoring: To get “big scoring” try doing a few combos and tricks under the red bars, when they go over the red bar they may be worth a lot!
Controls: The controls are very basic: simply click on the ball or grundo image to manuver it in different directions.
If you want a high score in Zurroball here is a good tip. If you have a slow computer the game is easier because the ball will be easier to catch but if you have a very fast computer then try this. Try playing a CD or running a big program while you are playing. This will slow down the game a lot making it easier to play. This works for most reflex based action games but I find Zurroball is the best for it.

Neopets Zurroball is a game of gravity and ferocious clicking, where you must keep a ball in the air for as long as possible. Zurroball is an unforgiving game which is notoriously difficult to master, but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s a whole lot of fun! What’s more, with a bit of practice Zurroball’s trophies are fairly easy to obtain when compared to other flash games.
Zurroball Instructions
In each game of Zurroball, you have to stop your chosen ball from hitting the ground by clicking on it as gravity takes its hold and it descends. Every time you play, you are given three attempts to get the highest score possible. Once you’ve used all three lives, the game is over. To build your score quickly, you can pull off a series of tricks to earn extra points. Tricks are an essential part of the game if you want to be earning a healthy amount of Neopoints!
Zurroball Balls
There are a total of six different balls you can play with, and each has unique qualities that changes how the ball behaves. There are three different attributes that each ball possesses, they are: size, weight, and speed. The size of the ball determines how easy it is to click on it as it falls (the smaller the size, the more difficult it is to click accurately). Meanwhile, the weight of the ball determines how it reacts to gravity. A heavy ball will not rise as high as a light ball when it’s clicked. Speed is fairly self-explanatory: faster balls whizz around the screen, while slower balls are easier to keep track of.
The default option is the Zurroball, a brown meteor which is big, heavy and slow. It’s a great ball to start out with and get to grips with the game, but its speed means it takes longer to rack up a high score.
As well as the Zurroball, there are five experimental balls you can choose to play with. The snot ball behaves a lot like the Zurroball, but it’s smaller and therefore harder to click on and keep in play. The metal ball hits a nice middle ground between the size of the first two options, and its incredibly slow speed makes it very easy to keep track of – but difficult to score points with quickly.
The energy ball is probably the most difficult to play with, as it’s the smallest in size, very lightweight and zips around at great speeds. The eye ball is similar in speed and weight to the energy ball, but its slightly bigger size typically makes it easier to play with.
Finally, there’s the Grundo Ball – a hidden option that you won’t find on the list of the title screen. To be able to play with the Grundo Ball, click on the blue “N” badge on the Grundo’s space suit. This option strikes a great balance between the size of the Zurroball, and the light, speedy nature of the energy ball. It’s a great option to use if you’re still getting used to the game, but want to be able to string together plenty of tricks quickly.
There are pros and cons to each ball, so spend a few games experimenting with each of them until you find one that suits you best.
Zurroball Tricks
There are four different tricks you can pull off to maximize your points total. Some of them are more difficult to perform than others, and award more points accordingly.
The Right Zurro will earn you 3 points, and is achieved by bouncing your Zurroball off the right wall.
The Left Zurro is a lot like the Right Zurro, except guess what? You earn your 3 points by bouncing the Zurroball off the left wall instead.
You can perform a Boomerang by bouncing the Zurroball off one wall, before clicking on it once to make it bounce off the opposite wall. This will earn you 5 points.
If you can get the Zurroball to bounce off both walls WITHOUT clicking on it in between, you will earn 10 points for pulling off an Around the World.
Finally, a Grounder can be achieved by clicking on the ball to bounce it just as it’s about to hit the ground. This will also bag you 10 points.
In order for points from your bounces (and tricks) to count, the Zurroball must cross the threshold, indicated by two red lines at the top of the screen. If the ball doesn’t cross this threshold before it hits the floor, you won’t earn any points earned since it last hit it.

Neopets Zurroball Guide
In order to earn a lot of points without putting in too much effort, follow these tips and tricks and you should do just fine:
Neopets Zurroball Guide Printable
- Always play the game in full screen mode. This will make everything (and crucially, the Zurroball) much bigger, but your cursor will stay the same size, making it easier to land a bounce.
- If you get your cursor perfectly lined up with the center of the Zurroball, it will bounce straight. This way, you don’t have to worry about moving your mouse around, and you can just focus on timing your clicks to land lots of bounces!
- At the bottom of the screen is an open hatch with a grey border. If you keep your mouse in line with the ball’s center, and just above the lowest point of this border, you can land plenty of Grounders and string lots of tricks together!
