Lights Out Rush
A dark, night-time board of cute little light bulbs, some of them glowing.
About This Game
A dark, night-time board of cute little light bulbs, some of them glowing. Tap a light and it flips, along with its neighbors above, below, left and right. Switch every light off to clear the board, and the next one pops up right away. Tapping the same light again flips the cross back, but it still counts as a move.
Every board shows MOVES and PAR, the fewest taps that can solve it. A clear earns a CLEAR! worth 100 points, a GREAT! worth 150 within PAR + 2 moves, or a PERFECT! worth 200 in exactly PAR moves. GREAT and PERFECT clears in a row build a STREAK bonus that grows by 20 with each one, up to +100; a plain CLEAR breaks it. Boards are 3×3 for the first five, 4×4 through board 15 and 5×5 after that, getting harder up to a PAR of 10, with an easier breather every sixth board from board 21.
You have 60 seconds from your first tap. Each clear gives time back (+8 s on 3×3, +6 s on 4×4, +4 s on 5×5, never above 60), and the clock pauses during the short celebration. Every run deals new random boards, and board 1 is always a practice plus shape: just tap the center. When time runs out, it's TIME! and the run ends.
Game Tips
- 💡 Order doesn't matter, and tapping a light twice cancels out, so a solution is just a set of lights to tap once each.
- 🔁 Wrong tap? Tap the same light again right away. Finish cleanly and you're at PAR + 2: still a GREAT!, and your STREAK lives on.
- ⏱️ A 5×5 clear gives back only 4 seconds, so a quick GREAT that keeps the streak often beats a slow hunt for PERFECT.
