## Gameplay[edit]

Additional puzzle elements such as switches, blocks, and gates introduce more complexity during gameplay.

## Critical reception[edit]

The game has a Metacritic score of 84% based on 4 critic reviews.[2]

NODpad Games said: "There is nothing to dislike about Quell; the game is the very embodiment of relaxation".[3] AppSpy said "Quell is a beautifully relaxing puzzle title to delve in to and even when things get rough it's easy to get lost in the moment and just play for the sake of chilling out".[4] Eurogamer wrote "At less than the price that airports charge for a packet of Extra, Quell is yet another way to make you feel Zen about spending hundreds of pounds on Apple hardware".[5] SlideToPlay said "Quell is a simple puzzle game that you won't want to quit".[6]
