Lights Out – A Dark Puzzle Platformer That Tests Your Mind and Reflexes
Lights Out is a minimalist puzzle platformer where darkness is both your greatest obstacle and most vital tool. Each level begins in total blackness. Press and hold the spacebar (or tap the circle button) to briefly illuminate your surroundings—just enough to map out deadly traps, platforms, and paths. But there's a twist: you can’t move while the lights are on.
To succeed, you must:
- Memorize the layout during short bursts of light
- Navigate in total darkness using only your memory
- Avoid hidden traps, spikes, and moving hazards
- Master new mechanics introduced in each world—keys, switches, and more
- Timing is everything. Hold the light too long, and it's game over. Move too soon, and you risk falling into the void.
This game rewards:
- Cognitive challenge and reaction speed
- Logical thinking and pattern recognition
- Replayability as you perfect your run
Whether you're a fan of precision platformers or memory-based puzzles, Lights Out offers a fresh, skill-driven gameplay experience that’s easy to learn but hard to master.
How to play
- Hold space (or tap the circle button) to light up the level
- Release to move using the arrow keys
- Avoid obstacles and reach the goal
- New gameplay mechanics appear as you progress through each world
