Pros
Pro Polished presentation
Quell+ takes the extra step to have a very polished presentation. First there are no loading screen, so all menus and levels move along smoothly and have zero wait times in any transition. Second is that there is a very artistic design around each level where in a user navigates menus that are presented as a story one must reveal. The overworld is presented as a bookshelf that contains different years as shelves, each shelf has a selection of levels that have an certain theme, changing with each year selected. Overall it is a unique representation that shows a lot of polish over other casual puzzle games.
Pro Superb level design
Though the basis of the game is simple enough, collect all fragments in a level with as little moves as possible, there is quite a bit of good level design that uses a few different elements to make the gameplay challenging. Things like being able to teleport across the board or blocks that appear to block your path once passed over make each level more challenging than the last due to smart level design.
Pro Strategic gameplay
Depending on the Pokemon one picks for their team the player is able to mix and match in order to plan ahead for what type of match they will be up against. Sometimes this takes a bit of trial and error but for the most part is a deep way to add strategy to what is basically a match 3 game.
Pro Graphics are better over the 3DS version
Originally this free-to-play title was released for the Nintendo 3DS but has since been ported to mobile. The port offers better graphics over the original due to the game now being able to be played on stronger hardware with higher resolution screens. The graphics are all high res now and look quite sharp.
Cons
Con Not a lot of replayability once beaten
Once the game is beaten and all puzzles are solved there is not much reason to revisit the game as there is nothing else left to do, so sadly there is not much replayability once the game is completed.
Con Some slowdown due to high resolution graphics on older devices
Older devices may have slight problems playing the game due to the high res graphics and flat out just being underpowered.
Con New players at disadvantage
Nintendo often has giveaways and events that allow players to gain hard to get Poekemon. Users who have been playing since the release of the game will have a slight advantage by having these hard to gain Pokemon on their teams, which for new users will be a bit of a hurdle for multiplayer and single player.
