About Lights Out

Lights Out is a minimalist platformer with one brilliant constraint: the level is completely dark, you can light it up by holding a button, and you cannot move while the light is on. So the game is memorise in the dark, move in the light — except it's the other way round, and that inversion is the whole design.

Hold the light too long and you lose, so every level becomes a series of short glances followed by blind runs. Each world adds a new mechanic — spikes, keys, moving platforms — that has to be handled from memory.

How to play Lights Out

Light up the level

Hold space (or tap the circle button)

Move

Arrow keys — only while the light is off

1. Hold space to reveal your surroundings — but you can't move while it's held.
2. Release, then move from memory in the dark.
3. Avoid traps and reach the goal.
4. Each world introduces a new mechanic to memorise around.

Lights Out tips

• Take short glances rather than long ones; holding too long ends the run.
• Memorise the next two obstacles, not the whole level.
• Count your steps in the dark — timing is more reliable than instinct.
• Look again at a junction rather than guessing; a wasted glance is cheaper than a death.
