LightsOut: Find Your Way Out
Puzzle
Free · Designed for iPad
Welcome to LightsOut!
Memorize. Move. Escape.
LightsOut is a brain-twisting puzzle game where you explore mazes.
LightsOut is a single-player 2D puzzle game designed to challenge players’ spatial memory, short-term recall, and problem-solving skills through a unique maze mechanic. The core gameplay involves navigating a maze that becomes invisible after a key object is picked up, requiring players to memorize the maze layout beforehand.
Gameplay Mechanics:
• Players begin each level in a visible maze and must first study its layout.
• A key object is placed somewhere within the maze.
• Once the player collects the key, the maze walls disappear completely, simulating a “lights out” effect.
• From this point forward, the player must rely solely on memory to reach the maze exit without visual guidance.
Cognitive Focus:
• The game is designed to strengthen short-term memory by requiring players to mentally retain the structure of the maze.
• It also promotes spatial reasoning and planning, as players must visualize and rehearse their path before moving.
• The combination of memory retention and spatial navigation makes the game cognitively stimulating while remaining accessible to a wide audience.
Visual Design:
• The game uses a minimalist 1-bit (black-and-white) art style to reduce visual distractions and enhance focus.
• This retro aesthetic is inspired by classic puzzle games and complements the memory-based gameplay by allowing players to concentrate solely on maze structure and path memorization.
Game Structure:
• The game includes multiple levels with increasing complexity.
• Each level introduces different generative maze layouts, progressively requiring greater memory retention and planning.
• Levels are designed to be short, allowing for quick gameplay sessions while still offering mental challenge.
Target Audience:
Suitable for all ages, particularly players who enjoy logic-based puzzles and memory games.
Platform Details:
• Designed for iPhone
• Supports touch controls only
• Offline playable
