Welcome to Blackout — a beautifully minimalist twist on the classic "Lights Out" logic puzzle! The rules are simple but the strategy is deep: tapping a tile flips its state (from light to dark or vice versa), but it also flips the four tiles directly adjacent to it (up, down, left, and right). Your ultimate goal? Turn off all the lights and plunge the board into total darkness! Can you solve each handcrafted level in the optimal number of moves? NEW: LEARN BY PLAYING Levels 1–15 have been rebuilt as a hands-on tutorial that introduces the patterns you'll see again and again throughout the game. Whether you're brand new or coming back for more, you'll start with a cleaner mental model for the boards ahead — then bring it into the deeper grids. KEY FEATURES: - Three Difficulty Modes: Start gently with Easy (4x4 grids), graduate to Normal (5x5), or challenge your ultimate brainpower in Advanced (6x6). - Guided Onboarding: Levels 1–15 teach the core patterns — so when you hit the tough stuff, you'll actually recognize it. - Ad-Free Experience: Immerse yourself in the puzzles without any random pop-up ads breaking your focus. - Smart Hints: Stuck on a tricky board? Use the built-in Hint system to instantly reveal the absolute best next move to get you back on track. - Cosmetic Themes: Personalize your game by unlocking gorgeous visual themes like Neon, Ocean, and Sunset to change up the aesthetics. - Endless Replayability: The grids are perfectly designed so every puzzle is uniquely solvable, requiring careful forethought and logical deduction. Whether you want to relax after a long day or push your brain with 6x6 mathematical grids, Blackout is the perfect puzzle companion. Think ahead. Chase the lights. Cause a Blackout.
