100% of achievements unlocked; all levels beaten, all crystals collected, all time pieces collected. The third game in the Quell series, Quell Memento offers 144 new puzzles (nearly double the 84 of the two previous games). While Quell Reflect introduced a couple of new puzzle mechanics to the tile-shifting gameplay, Quell Memento expands on this much further, with many more new puzzle type, used both on their own and in combination. As examples of these new mechanics, levels might not require all of the 'light' blocks in a level to be 'turned on' by passing next to them, or feature orbs that emit light rays that need to illuminate certain new crystal types.
The puzzles can get quite challenging at times, and the requirement to solve each once before being able to progress to the next means that from time to time I was reaching for a guide, at least to start me in the right direction - but on the whole the game's pitched about right to give a satisfying experience, with difficulty increasing through each of the nine puzzle sets.
Presentationally, Quell Memento makes some significant improvements over the first two games. There's a light storyline that's developed as you progress through puzzle sets, the interface gets an overall revamp, and there's once again a fittingly relaxing soundtrack throughout.
