[Game Background] In the vibrant university campus, under the nightfall, the lights of the dormitories reflect scenes of warmth and laughter on the windows. However, when it's time to turn off the lights, there are always a group of disobedient students who refuse to turn off the lights and go to sleep on time. As the dormitory supervisor, you are extremely concerned about the students' health. You run up and down the stairs, vowing to turn off all the rebellious lights. But as soon as you turn them off, they secretly turn them on again. What to do? A battle of turning off the lights is about to erupt. Hurry up and let the troublemakers witness your super combat power as the dormitory supervisor! This game is a magical hand speed test game, focusing on testing your reaction ability. [Basic Rules] Make those dormitories that go to bed too late turn off the lights. Note: It's enough to turn off the dormitory with a yellow light once. For students chatting with white lights on, you need to turn them off twice before they give up completely. Don't disturb the classmates who turn on the night light to get up at night. Otherwise, they might throw feces at you! Don't disturb the dormitories that have already turned off the lights and gone to sleep. Students playing games with neon lights go to bed the latest and are the most excited. You must firmly press, press, press... keep pressing! [Stage Mode] Whether the aunt can become a regular employee depends on your performance in the challenges! It is said that less than one in a thousand people can complete the game perfectly... [Classic Mode] Complete the challenge of being on duty for the whole night and see how many lights you can turn off during one night shift! Turning off yellow and white lights can earn you points, while pressing the night light or the dark room by mistake will deduct points. Aunties who can maintain a high correct rate during the stage of soaring difficulty will have score bonuses! The neon lights that need to be frantically clicked at the end are the duty rewards for everyone. Did you have a great time pressing? [Survival Mode] In the endless long night, you can only miss at most 3 lights. See how long you can hold on! Missing the yellow or white lights or pressing the night light by mistake will cost you your life. Pressing the dark room by mistake won't cost your life but will deduct points. So, be careful. [Shop] Be on duty, compete for high scores, and exchange for prizes. Come and add some desirable tools for the dormitory supervisor. Have a pleasant duty!
