About Lights Out

Lights Out is a minimalist puzzle platformer with a twist: the level is pitch black. Reveal your surroundings by emitting light, but there's a catch: you can't move while the lights are on. Memorize in the dark to move in the light. Master timing, memory, and reflexes to conquer each world’s unique mechanics.

It's a focused puzzle game made for fans of the genre. Whether you want a quick five-minute break or a longer session, it runs smoothly on just about any device.

A couple of things help once you get going: Work from the corners and edges inward — they usually have the fewest possible solutions. If the game has a hint button, save it for when you are genuinely blocked, not just slow.

Lights Out is free to play and ready to go on Glaze Games — no app, no account, just tap Play and start.
