All Out looks innocent (and simple) enough. But that innocent look is its clever and frustrating tool because really All Out is not just an easy puzzle game that, with enough tries, you will solve. With All Out you actually have to be able to really use your brain and understand how things work.
In All Out you are presented with a grid (it looks a bit like a Connect 4 game initially). There are some holes that are black, and others which are lit up. What you have to do is, by clicking your mouse on the lit ones, make as many of them black as possible. But the problem is, once you click on the lit one, another 1 or more nearby can be lit up, thus destroying your work. I have used the "Solve" button when I've gotten really stuck (which is more times than I care to admit) but I pay quite dearly for that so I wouldn't really advise it. First, you feel quite humiliated doing this as a page comes up asking "Will you sell your soul for a solution?" It is not really nice seeing that.
Therefore, what I would advise instead, is that if you do want to win is to think very carefully before clicking on any of the lit buttons; think about how that clicking will affect all the buttons around it and if it is worth your while to click that particular button or if it will ultimately cause you more harm than good.
