About this game

Lights Out is a puzzle where pressing a cell flips that cell and its up/down/left/right neighbors, and clearing all the lights wins the stage. As stages rise, the grid gets bigger and more lights start on.

How to play

  1. Continue from where you cleared on the stage select screen.
  2. Press a cell to flip it along with its up/down/left/right neighbors.
  3. Drag to flip every cell you pass over in a row.
  4. Turn off all the lights to clear the stage.
  5. Use a hint to see the next move if you get stuck.

Tips

  • Solving within the par move count earns a bonus score.
  • Going over par costs points for each extra move.
  • Using a hint reduces your score, so save it for when you're stuck.
  • Edge cells affect fewer neighbors, making them a good place to plan your order from.
  • Pressing the same cell twice undoes it, so keep track of what you've already pressed.
