Wow! I thought I was quite intelligent and good at puzzles until I played All Out which can be found on the games2go.co.uk free games website. The concept and instructions make the game sound so easy but when you come to play it, it is really rather difficult.
All Out is based on a simple board or circuit of lights. All that you have to do is try and put out all of the lights, but all of the lights are connected. If you click on one light (circle) you will see that it puts out other lights at the same time. The trick of the game is trying to find out which circuits are connected and therefore try and put out all of the lights.
It sounds simple doesn't it? But let me tell you it is not. While you are trying to put out the lights you are also being timed and in addition the number of tries it takes you to put out the lights are registered. There is a know it all looking man sitting at the side of the board smoking his cigar and looking bored while you try and solve the puzzle. If you do succeed in solving the puzzle then you can go up a level where it is even harder to solve. Each level is more difficult, for the first few levels you can request the solution if you give up, but after a certain number of levels, there is no more help and you are on your own. This is a great game for those know it alls who think they can do anything!
