Bug?
Can’t continue the game due to a bug? It won’t let me do an action that I’m ment to do (fill the clay pot with water)
Phantasmat: Loch--STUCK!!!
I was engaged at first, but the overly dark screens made it difficult to solve some puzzles. I often guessed in order to move forward, which was tiresome. Finally finished the game, unexpectedly, only to find the bonus game to be buggy. I'm completely shut down, clay jug doesn't activate the barrel to give jug with water, while the help button just says perhaps I'd better move on, in every scene. BORING!!

Bonus game glitch
I got a few screens into the bonus game and it glitched. It put me back a few puzzles but didn’t give me the tools back to move forward again. I closed and opened the game again and it started me back at the main game again!
Fair
Started out intriguing, then went bizarre. Found game to be too dark with a few glitches. Storyline I felt got lost and turned into a lot of running around aimlessly. Disappointed for this series, which I have always enjoyed. Lot's of special effects - but was lacking in purpose. Hopefully, next in this series will be better. Just not my cup of tea.

I enjoyed it just the graphics could have been better too dark
Disappointing
Enjoyed the main game and was looking forward to the bonus chapter. Got stuck so looked at the walkthrough, only to find that what I tried to do was correct - put the clay pot under the barrel of water and fill it up. Sadly it wouldn’t work - tried various angles, but still no joy so couldn’t go any further. Have now deleted it, but annoyed I didn’t get the full game that I’d paid for.

Kept me occupied
I quite enjoyed this game. Quite a bit of variety in the puzzles and lasted a decent amount of time. Wasn't hideously expensive as I got it on sale, wouldn't pay more tho. All in all, I'd say give it a go.

♥️Phab.
♥️Phantastic.
♥️Phantabulous.
The longer I play- the better it gets. I absolutely LOVE this game. I deliberately slowed to a crawl to draw it out, savor every minute. It's wickedly delicious. 😈
Phantasmat is one of my top phavorite series. I happen to favor darker mysterious genres, which is exactly what Phantasmat embodies- &they didn't disappoint!
So here's an even longer review:
(🤐yes...it's possible)
Exciting from the word 🛶"ROW!"
...one second you're alone on a rowboat 🚣🏼 with a creepy guy with a thick Irish (Scottish?) brogue, at dusk, facing a huge dark menacing Castle atop a jutting cliff that's looming in the background....then...
💥 BAM! 💥😵🤛🏻
...next thing you know you're underwater-🌊 only to resurface w/creepy guy gone...for now..
Super opening.🥂🍾
Next, an early mini-game arrival, an unexpected happy diversion from the standard HOP (ah, it's the little things..) off to a really great start...👌🏻
Includes the Essentials:
🔑Custom Difficulty
🔑Free Instant Transport
🔑Zero Lag/Glitches
And it gets better:

🕸Interesting and engaging Storyline, unfolding at a steady pace w
🕷A mix of great realistic graphics and automations that's set off by a mostly dark matte scheme, variations of blacks, greens, grays &whites - awesome
🕸No waiting for a change of scenery. You're constantly in the move with multiple areas both indoors &out, numerous cool and intricate details at every turn, like the veiny skeletal hand blended into the cliff, creepy jesters 🃏w/tons of eerie pop ups -LOVE 💘
🕷Music is anticipatory, filled w rich bass tones..reminiscent of a scary movie &the Realistic Sound Effects (best w headphones!) are often fantastically cringeworthy
🕸Radio Mini-Game is a fun concept, loved the transition afterwards
🕷 Plenty of 2-1, & 3-1 HOP's that are much longer than normal- So Happy 🤸🏼♀️
🕸Stone Square Mini-Game was unique &fun
🦑Octopus Shape Game - simple, but fun, appreciated both parts &transition
CONS: 👎🏻
🌍The 2-1 Globe Game.
I was SO excited to play...only to find it's been completely dumbed down. The game won't allow a piece to be released unless you've selected the accurate placement. Then you can't advance unless you select the right direction. Why?? How is that even a game?By removing ANY challenge, guesswork or thought - it's perfect for under age 5.
What a huge loss of potential.
☠️Under Water Scenes.
Delete. I could've done without it. But at least make all the travel/hoop jumping worth it by offering an extra cool interactive Mini-Game...endless possibilities.
⏰WAKE UP!Mobile Testers!
Look at the actual parameters and placement of the HO's, Puzzles and Mini-Games on mobile phones!
1) The edges are practically flush with the background- without a buffer it nearly impossible to select/move an item, navigate controls or piece together without constantly activating the wrong things and/or backing out/closing it down.
EX: The (?) 🔄 buttons are so close together and located halfway on/off the perimeter- so you're constantly activating them and the placement of HINT and SKIP also interferes.
--------
My standing request:
PUSH that envelope!!🙉📢
🤜🏻-🤜🏻-🤜🏻->✉️ -we can take it!
While I appreciated the newer games, I'd be thrilled with more difficulty-increasingly Complex, Challenging, and Unique HOP's, Puzzles ...and please add Multi Level Mini-Games.
OVERALL: 🍒
🍦
JUST ❤️LOVED IT.
It was such an impressive improvement, with so many upgrades and variety.
I especially loved the timing; with one fun HOP or Mini-Game after another, the ongoing activity, the division into two parts and practically every scene was jam packed, containing objects of purpose...adding to the excitement of "what's next?"
Speaking of....
I am SO looking forward to the next installment.
Well done! 🎯

Annoying
Stop begging for reviews when we are trying to play!
Wasn't as good as the others...
Not the greatest. My least favourite in the series. Couldn't wait for it to be over.
