|| Introduction ||     [SecIntro]
===================

    Quell Reflect is the 2nd release in a series of puzzle games by Fallen
    Tree Games. 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
    
    Orbs (aka raindrops) are labeled in order starting from the top-left
    corner ... going top-to-down, and then left-to-right
        For example, the 5 orbs below would be labeled as such:
            O1 . . . O4
            .  . O3.  .
            O2 . . . O5

    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.
    Spike  - These instantly pop raindrops upon contact. Brown ones can be
        pushed. Red ones are rigid.
    Switch - 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 raindrop.

    Question: How do I acquire the "Better than Us" achievement? [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.
