A minimalist logic puzzle of bombs, triggers, and careful planning. Slide bombs across triggers to arm them, then guide the activated bomb onto its target. Each trigger brings the bomb closer to detonation - cross too many, and the level is lost. The rules are simple. The solutions are not. Features - 50 handcrafted levels - Five difficulty tiers, from Easy to Nightmare - Clean, focused design built around pure logic - Puzzles that reward patience, foresight, and restraint Even the developer no longer remembers how to solve the final five levels. Can you?

Lights Out Infinity

Features
Read full description

Lights Out Infinity โ€” a modern remake of the 1995 handheld classic, built for iOS. Tap a light and its four neighbours flip with it. Turn every light off. One rule to learn, three hundred puzzles to master. WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL Every level carries a proven minimum. Not an estimate โ€” a number checked by a solver that searched every valid solution, so matching it means you played that board perfectly. The hint always lies on an optimal path, and the stars measure how close you came. 300 HAND-BUILT LEVELS 150 classic and 150 hexagonal, from 5ร—5 grids up to 7ร—7, and from small hex boards to large. Symmetric patterns throughout โ€” no random layouts. Up to 3 stars per level. HEXAGON MODE Six neighbours instead of four. The same rule produces strategies that simply do not exist in the square game, and no other Lights Out app has it. INFINITY MODE Pick a grid from 5ร—5 to 10ร—10 and a difficulty, look the board over before you start, and reroll until you like it. Every board is solvable, and its target move count is exact. DAILY CHALLENGE One puzzle a day, the same for every player worldwide. Track your run on a constellation calendar and compete on the Game Center leaderboard. 8 VISUAL THEMES Four free โ€” Classic, Cosmic, Ocean and Monochrome. Four premium โ€” Midnight, Aura, Amber and Moss. Monochrome is free on purpose: it is the most readable of the eight, and readability is not for sale. SMART HINT SYSTEM Stuck? The hint ring breathes over the cell to press, and it always sits on an optimal path. Three free hints per level. NEW TO LIGHTS OUT? A short tutorial teaches the rule inside a real board โ€” three sentences, three moves, nothing to read through first. ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver throughout. Every colour on every board measured against contrast thresholds. Full iPad layout. Seven languages, switchable inside the app. GAME CENTER 2 leaderboards and 16 achievements with custom artwork. PREMIUM PACK โ€” ONE PURCHASE, FOREVER Hexagon levels 51โ€“150, Infinity grids up to 10ร—10, unlimited hints and 4 premium themes. Family Sharing enabled. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Works offline. Just puzzles.
