Based on Lights Out gameplay, WayOut goes beyond that and brings great variety of level shapes and mechanics into it. Each level has the same goal - switch off all tiles using the least amount of moves. Test limits of your brain by perfecting each puzzle. Let your mind be your guide in meditative and relaxing, yet challenging, journey. According to Zen philosophy, game has minimalistic UI - no timers, score or move limit labels. No distraction, just you and puzzle.

foi um dos primeiros jogos que eu comprei na steam (tava 2 reais). Muito fodase

100% of achievements; all puzzles completed with minimum moves. Clearly inspired by the classic Lights Out handheld game from the 90s, WayOut is a decent little tiled-based puzzle game that's generally a relaxing experience, with simplistic graphics and a gentle background soundtrack. Of course, the puzzles themselves are key to the experience and in many cases present quite a stiff challenge, especially if you're aiming to solve the puzzles with the minimum possible number of moves - I'm not ashamed to admit to having referred to a guide to help with a fair few of them.

As you get towards the later puzzles, there are some interesting variants to the standard Lights Out puzzles, with special tiles that behave in different ways from standard ones, and it can be quite satisfying (albeit briefly) to work out each new mechanic and how best to make use of it to solve each puzzle. The one major criticism that I have with the game is linked with this, though, to an extent - while the game doesn't really need a tutorial as such (and doesn't have one), the puzzles don't necessarily come across in such a way as to teach techniques for solving later ones, instead feeling in large part to need a trial-and-error approach. Overall, though, the game easily justifies its low price, with its 120 puzzles providing a good length and the game's positives outweighing its drawbacks.

Pretty fun and interesting puzzle game. However, some stages can be very hard to get an insight of which steps to take to reach a wanted outcome.
