The objective of each level is to swipe an orb in the correct combination of directions to complete the tasks of that level. This guide is a complete walkthrough to beating the 88 levels using the minimum moves, and to obtaining the 84 hidden jewels. I beat the game when it first came out, and then again after the Jewels were released. Since then, perfect solutions have been updated to match the "Better than Us" solutions found by users. Thus, it becomes harder to find newer "Better than Us" solutions. Please let me know if you find a new one. Of all the Quell games, I think Reflect has the best soundtrack :) =============================== || Abbreviations and Legend || [SecLeg] =============================== U - Up D - Down L - Left R - Right O1, O2, O3, etc. - Orb / Raindrop , (comma) - I've added commas in the solution whenever the follow occur: Trigger green blocks, break ice or gold blocks, Orbs (aka raindrops) are labeled in order starting from the top-left corner ... going left-to-right, and then top-to-bottom For example, the 5 orbs below would be labeled as such: O1 . . . O2 . . O3. . O4 . . . O5 They're labeled in order of how you would read words in an English book. Pearls - Collect all of these on a level to beat it Blocks - These act as walls, but can be pushed around. Combining two of them will make both disappear. Spikes - These instantly pop raindrops upon contact. Brown ones can be pushed. Red ones are rigid. Switches - Touching these will change the directions of spikes. Gates - There are two types of gates: green and gold. Green ones will only allow one object to pass through it before transforming into a solid wall. Gold ones act as walls and will disappear when contacted by a gold orb. ======================== || Stage Walkthrough || [SecWalk] ======================== *** Tutorial Stage *** [TutorStg] Level 1 - Welcome to Quell: Solution: D R U Level 2 - Can't Stop: Solution: R D L U R Level 3 - A Different Space: Solution: U R Level 4 - Sideways: Solution: R D, L D, R *** 1962 *** [Chpt1962] 1962 - Stage 1 [Chpt1962Stg1] Level 1 - In the Beginning (8) Solution: R D R D L U R U Jewel: D LRLRL Level 2 - Either Side (8) Solution: U L D R U R L D Jewel: L DUD Level 3 - Cross Word (8) Solution: D L U R U R D L Jewel: D L U RLRLR Level 4 - Snap Crackle (14) Solution: D R U L U L D, R L U R D L, U Jewel: UDUDU 1962 - Stage 2 [Chpt1962Stg2] Level 1 - Une Amie (6) Solution: O2: L U R D O1: R D Jewel: O2: UDUDU Level 2 - Alliance (6) Solution: O1: D O2: R U L U, R Jewel: O3: R UDUDU Level 3 - Adieu (9) Solution: O2: U L O1: U R D R D R U Jewel: O1: U RLRLR Level 4 - Chimney (5) Solution: U, L U R U Jewel: R U LRLRL 1962 - Stage 3 [Chpt1962Stg3] Level 1 - Vanishing Act (12) Solution: O1: D R D R L U R L, R D O2: D R Jewel: O1: D R U R L, R D O2: D RLRLR Level 2 - Breaking and Entering (10) Solution: L D R U L, D R D U L Jewel: R DUDUD Level 3 - Carry Home (14) Solution: D R L U R, L D R U L R D L U Jewel: D R LRLRL Level 4 - Curiosity (8) Solution: O1: L D R D O2: R U L U Jewel: O1: D L UDUDU *** 1964 *** [Chpt1964] 1964 - Stage 1 [Chpt1964Stg1] Level 1 - Excuse Me (5) Solution: R U R L D Jewel: R (URDR)x2 Level 2 - Step Up (8) Solution: L D R L U R D R Jewel: L D R D Level 3 - Hit the Nail (14) Solution: O1: R D L, R D L U R O2: L U R U R D Jewel: O2: U R LRLRL Level 4 - Small World (6) Solution: D L D L D R Jewel: D LRLRL 1964 - Stage 2 [Chpt1964Stg2] Level 1 - Lemming (8) Solution: O1: D R O2: L D U R D R Jewel: O1: D UDUDU Level 2 - Inside Job (20) Solution: O1: U R D L U L U R, D R U L O2: U R L D R U L U Jewel: O1: U R (DLURUR)x2 Level 3 - Short Straw (6) Solution: O2: L U O1: D O2: R D L Jewel: O1: D L U R LRLRL Level 4 - Open Sesame (12) Solution: O2: R U L U R U L R O1: L D O2: L, U Jewel: O2: R U L U R U L O1: L D UDUDU 1964 - Stage 3 [Chpt1964Stg3] Level 1 - Attic Space (15) Solution: L D R U, D L U R L D R D L U, R Jewel: U, RLRLR Level 2 - Over the Top (8) Solution: D R U D L U L U Jewel: R L R Level 3 - Off-Key (8) Solution: R U L R D L U R Jewel: U R D R U L D LRLRL Level 4 - Easy Reach (7) Solution: R D U L D U L Jewel: DUDUD *** 1967 *** [Chpt1967] 1967 - Stage 1 [Chpt1967Stg1] Level 1 - Quarantine (21) Solution: D L U R D U L D R L D L U L U D R U L R U Jewel: U L D RLRLR Level 2 - Access (14) Solution: R U L R D L U R U L D L U L Jewel: R U L R D L U L D L U R LRLRL Level 3 - Sinking Feeling (12) Solution: D U R U D L D U L D R U Jewel: L D L Level 4 - Assistance (8) Solution: O2: D R U O1: U R D R D Jewel: O1: D 1967 - Stage 2 [Chpt1967Stg2] Level 1 - Thread (19) Solution: O1: D R D O3: D L R U O2: R D R D R U L D U R U L Jewel: O3: D R U O1: D R D O2: R D R D R U L D UDUDU Level 2 - Born Slippy (6) Solution: O1: L U L O2: R D R Jewel: O1: L UDUDU Level 3 - In a China Shop (7) Solution: U D, L U L, D, R Jewel: U DUDUD Level 4 - Circus (15) Solution: R U R D L U R U L D L D L D L Jewel: R U R D L U R U L D UDUDU 1967 - Stage 3 [Chpt1967Stg3] Level 1 - Pairs (14) Solution: O2: D R U D L U L, R O1: U L R D L, R Jewel: O1: R O2: D R U R D LRLRL Level 2 - Ram Raid (21) Solution: O1: R, D R D L O2: U L D L U R D L U L, U L D R U L Jewel: O1: R, D R D L, RLRLR Level 3 - Fair Share (13) Solution: O1: D U R O2: D R L D R U L D L U Jewel: O2: D L D L U R LRLRL Level 4 - Exit Strategy (30) Solution: O2: D L U R U R, L D L U R D O3: U L D L U R D R L D R, L U L O1: D L U L Jewel: O2: D L U R U R, L D L U R D O3: U L D L U R D R U DUDUD *** 1970 *** [Chpt1970] 1970 - Stage 1 [Chpt1970Stg1] Level 1 - The Lair (17) Solution: O1: D L U R D R O2: U L R D L D R D R U R Jewel: Hidden behind the top-left gold block ...

[SecBtU] Answer: There are several levels you can beat under the official "minimum" number of moves. This gives you the "Better than us" achievement. For some levels, you can exploit the game mechanics (e.g. orbs get delayed when moving through portal rings, orb can block or push an already-moving wooden block) to beat the "perfect" score. The game is occassionally updated so that former "Better Than Us" solutions become the new normal par solution. Currently-known Better than Us levels: 1970 - Search Party (41/42) 1970 - There seems to be another way to save 9 moves? 1972 - Trust (18/19) 1975 - Dizzy (13/18) 1975 - Unknown level that saves 1 move. =================== || Achievements || [Achieve] =================== This is a list of all 31 achievements (on Android) Unless explicitly stated, you don't have to accomplish the tasks for an achievement in a single level or on the first try Audacious - Push 10 spikes Bounty - Collect 25 pearls Century - Collect 100 pearls C'est La Vie - Sacrifice a drop in order to continue Clear Cut - Complete a stage in perfect moves Completely Reflective - Complete every level Exactly - Complete 10 levels perfectly Exceptional - Complete the 1974 shelf Finders Keepers - Collect 50 pearls Gatekeeper - Close 50 gates Heavyweight - Break 15 gold blocks Heist - Collect every jewel High Five - Complete a level requiring 2 drops Live and Learn - Complete the 1962 shelf Loopy - Get stuck in a loop 5 times Magician - Push 4 sets of blocks together Making Headway - Complelte the 1967 shelf Never Invited Back - Break 3 gold blocks in one level No Hedgehog Jokes - Spiked 15 times Outstanding - Complete the 1972 shelf Overly Friendly - Merge drops 3 times Painful - Spiked 5 times Party Time - Complete a level requiring 4 drops (in Cabaret) Perfectly Reflective - Complete every level in perfect moves Persistent - Retry a level 10 times Plain Sailing - Complete the 1970 shelf Poisoned - Poison 2 drops in order to continue Quellectible - Collect 200 pearls Quellogical - Complete 40 levels perfectly Quelltastic - Complete 20 levels perfectly Quick Response - Complete a level in under 6 seconds Revenge - Spike a poisoned drop Ringing in the Rain - Use the ring 10 times Shaping Up - Complete the 1964 shelf Spot on - Complete 3 levels perfectly Teamwork - Complete a level requiring 3 drops Thrifty - Collect 150 pearls Too Meticulous - Complete a shelf in perfect moves =============== || Changelog || [Change] =============== 1.10 - Changed the order of orb numbering.
