Smudgy graphics in Quell games

Hello,

this is how Quell Reflect 1.53 looks like:

and this is how the latest version looks:

Also the menu (the fonts) doesn't look as good as before. (But I can live with that.)
Before:

I have the same problem with Quell and sadly (since I can't just use some older version in this case) with Memento too:

my phone is Huawei Ascend G300 (U8815) running stock Gingerbread.

Thank you both for the great games and for your response,

Svata

Hi Svata,

thanks for pointing this out. I've passed it on to our programmer. Will let you know what feedback he has.

Hi Svata

In the latest updates, any phones with resolution 800x600 or under are using the smaller texture set. We did this to try to avoid some of the older phones running out out of memory, which was particularly an issue with Quell Memento as it uses more textures.

However, we'll take another look into this as it sounds like it is more noticeable than we expected.

Thanks
Thank you very much for your quick response. But I have to say that it's a little unfair for all these phones with WVGA (800 x 480) displays - there are quite powerful phones using this resolution, like Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy S III mini, HTC Desire X or HTC Desire SV. (And I think a majority of mobiles used today still have a display with this resolution, so Quell should be optimized for these displays.) Although my phone is a lot less powerful, Quell and Quell Reflect worked absolutely fine and I never had any problem with them. Of course I don't know how Memento would work. But since it's such I big difference (I immediately felt like I was playing on a low-end HVGA phone), I would be very grateful for some option (even a hidden one) to enable the better textures on WVGA devices. For Quell and Reflect I can always use the old versions (I'm glad I saved them), but if I play the current version on Memento, I can really tell it doesn't look very good in terms of the resolution.

That's some valid points Svata. We'll do further testing and do all we can to restore the higher res textures in the next Memento update (as well as the previous games). Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you. Memento looks great on my phone after the last update. (Although the droplet's movement was a little jerky just after the update, but after clearing the game data from the settings everything works fine.) Thank you again for solving this issue and generally for these amazing games.
