What players say

Interesting puzzle game, relatively easy 100%, may take some time, but there are ways to help you solve it if you use the points you ear from each perfect completion.

I first played Quell on the iPhone 10 years ago and rediscovered it here. It is a cool puzzle game that definitely challenges your brain. The built-in guide makes the game easy to understand.
