Falling Phantoms



Falling Phantoms is a platform game located northwest in the Temple of Zios, past the Chamber of Knowledge. It can be purchased and played at the Sol Arcade.

Gameplay
The player must dash back and forth using the arrow keys, avoiding the volcano erupting, flaming, and falling phantoms, hence the name.

There are three phases: One, where the sky is light blue and the phantoms are small and few; Two, where the phantoms get larger and the sky gets orange-red; and Three, where the phantoms are huge, fall in large groups, gem bonuses appear, and the sky is a dark crimson.

The maximum number of Gems you can earn is 400, by lasting until the timer stops and also collecting all the gem bonuses. By getting hit and losing the game in the first round ahead of anyone else, five Gems are usually awarded.

You can buy the Falling Phantoms Game at Sol Arcade for 400 Gems, like all gem games, discluding Swoopy Eagle.

Trivia

 * The achievement 'Ring Of Fire' is a real life location. It is a "belt of volcanoes & frequent seismic activity nearly encircling the Pacific.", and is located in the Pacific Ocean.
 * Barricading yourself in the corners in large groups is a bad idea, because you won't have enough time to run, however, you may use this to your advantage and stay in the middle whilst others huddle together.
 * The achievement 'Dome' is one of the four mountain types, it is where the magma doesn't erupt, but creates a dome like shape.
 * The sky changes color to show each stage.
 * Like Jamaa Derby and Splash and Dash, this is a game where you play interactively with a set number of players. If not enough regular players go on one game session at a time, like the previous games, the system will automatically load in bots.
 * In the adventure Greely's Inferno, there are falling phantoms that look similar to the ones in this game and have the exact same sounds as they fall.
 * There is an occasional glitch where you appear to be the only player, but there are still other players.
 * Gems appear on the side of the screen farthest from you. Because of this, a good tactic is to stay as close to the middle as you can so when the gems appear you will be closer to them.
 * There is a glitch that causes you to have a clone of your animal. It has the same colors and items as your animal, only it is a different animal. When this happens, the regular version of your animal will be walking around randomly or as a bot, and instead, you control the clone.
