How to play

  1. Press a light to flip it and the four lights around it.
  2. Turn every light off to clear the level.
  3. Solving close to par earns a bonus and adds 20 seconds.
  4. When the clock runs out, the run ends.
  5. From level 2 your level is saved. If time runs out, Continue restarts it with 90 seconds.

Controls

Keyboard

  • Arrows move the cursor
  • Space presses
  • P pause

Touch

  • Tap a light

Controller

  • D-pad or left stick to move
  • A / Cross for action, B / Circle for secondary
  • Start to pause

Tips for a better score

  • Work from the top row down: for every light still on, press the one directly beneath it. The lights get pushed into the bottom row, leaving a smaller pattern.
  • The bonus is 15 points for every move under twice par, so finishing right at par earns a healthy extra and anything quicker earns more.
  • Pressing the same light twice just cancels itself out and wastes two moves. The order of presses never matters, so each light needs pressing once at most.
  • On a keyboard the cursor wraps from edge to edge and moving it is free; only a press counts as a move. On a phone, every tap counts.

About Lights Off

Lights Off is a five-by-five toggle puzzle. Pressing a light flips it and its four neighbours, and the goal is to switch every light off. Each level scrambles the board a little harder; solve it near par for a bonus, and every solved board adds time to the clock.
