The overall length of the game was excellent, bonus game a decent length compared with other games shortcomings.
The game was on the dark side visually and kind of grainy, a bit dated. Way too many hops, there was one ever few minutes, I was ready to loose it but finished anyways.
I feel this may be the worst Phantasmat game, too dated.
I lost what the game was about because the storyline bored me to death. I was just mindlessly playing and wanting it too end (mostly because of the hops).
The was plenty of places to go and an excellent map which made the game bearable.
The eye collectable or if you can even call it that was so boring! and did nothing for me.
Not a very creative or refreshing game just more of the old stuff. I can't wait for the next MCF game.
I wouldn't recommend, but you need to try for yourself and make your own judgement.
I don't recommend this game.

Long for a SE and I loved the different places and I liked the click of the game cursor. Great game for using my free game voucher! I wasn't fond of the hos piles but managed to click my way through, hate those!
Other that puzzles were fairly easy but lots to do.
I recommend this game!

Ok I loved the puzzles and there was a lot of originality and board game like puzzles which are my favorite, only down side they were ridiculously easy. There was maybe one that took a bit of time figuring it out but still easy.
No super boring HOPs but I still didn't like all the HOPs, just not a fan, but they did try to make them more interesting and interactive. I prefer my HOPs to be more puzzle or game board style as well. I love the ones where you find something that needs to be used to get the next object and so on...
No collectables just morphing objects... blah blah. boring.
The main game was way too short, I played most of it within the first hour and when I purchased it, it was over within the next hour. Not good.
The bonus Chapter was ok, decent length for a bonus game, which was more like a bonus chapter.
I would have given 5 stars but the game was too short and the puzzles a bit too easy. Still better than most of the CE games these days, not as good as the MCF games, but kudos for using their puzzle style. So yes I recommend the game.
I recommend this game!

Great artwork and creative. Junk piles were not too bad, still not a fan and not interactive enough for me. Good length, the bonus game was not very long but fun to play, for twice the amount the bonus game should be a lot longer! Who cares about all the other extras? Really? I just want the bonus game! Otherwise I'll just buy the SE.
A few collectable objects to find along the way, have no idea what they were though, nothing special and boring.
Not enough puzzles, I like the fanciful board game style puzzles and I like lots of variety, lacking in this department.
I cute Phoenix for a friend along the way but he didn't do much, would have liked to use him more and have him be more animated, but I like the cute helpers as long as they're not obnoxious and cheesy.
Nothing really stands out in this game except for the artwork, very pretty. The map was totally useless except for jumping place to place which I consider to be a standard.
I finished it in a couple hours so not terribly long, but I also know these games and play very fast, although I wish it was longer. If you are like me and buy the CE's for the bonus game, I would pass and buy the SE unless you get a deal then sure get the CE.
I recommend this game!

Excellent CE games are rare to come by these days, usually the bonus game (which is the only thing I buy the CE for) are too short. This one was ok but still short. SE version would have sufficed.
Gameplay was fun, puzzles were on the easy side but good variety which is important. Some puzzles were fun like board games which are the ones I love, like MCF games, they didn't have ones like that but they had some fun ones.
Story was interesting, graphics good. They had a bunch of HOPs but there were a few interesting features, I loved the fairy that came out of the flower bud you click on, that's the kind of things I like but none of the games do enough of, mostly just boring piles of junk.
Still this game had mostly boring HOPs although they did provide the option to play a puzzle instead and I love that type of option! Although I wish it was Mahjong instead of a puzzle.
They had the morphing objects to find throughout the game which I'm a bit bored of by now, I wish they'd get more creative on this, yawn!
No little helpers which I know some people don't like but I love as long as they are fun or interesting.
I love more interactive board game puzzles and HOPs, these games are stuck in a ruck they really need to think outside of the box and get more creative.
I recommend this game!

The game artwork was clear and interesting. Lots of places to go, that's always a plus. Map makes it easy to jump around.
Way too many HOS piles, and not very interactive, pretty much standard boring type :-(
The little helper was annoying constantly waving while playing the game.
Puzzles were ok, not too interesting, pretty much standard types. Take a look at MCF amazing puzzles.
No glitches, things did what they were supposed to do for the most part. Pretty game, nice length.
It would have been nice to be able to go back into scenes and look for missing puzzle pieces that were missed after game completion.
Who cares about wallpapers, ugh, do people really use them? Maybe it's a kid thing.
The game was good but not great.
I recommend this game!

Great length, great story, great graphics but sometimes too dark to make out things clearly. They still could up the graphics to todays standard but still good.
Puzzles not so great, not very creative. Wish for more puzzles but more creative like MFC games. love those. That would have made it almost perfect.
Way too many hidden object piles, hate that!!! I don't mind a couple of guess where the object goes type pile but just the tedious boring lists, ugh!!!
The adventure is what gets my vote. Lots of scenery and places to go with the ease of a map to jump to without any monotonous back and forth, thank you! Loved the adventure, store was excellent and creative as well.
Fantastic length, even with the bonus chapter, this makes it a worthy CE.
I recommend this game!

ERS has really got to step it up, their games are so old school. There is a bad part where you put the diving suit together; placement is not apparent and doesn't even make sense where it does go and I can't even tell what the items are that I'm placing. Puzzles are ok.
If games don't start looking at the top notch games like Dire Grove and other Mystery Case Files and their incredible fun and artistic puzzles they will never evolve.
ERS games are such a snore.
I don't recommend this game.
