Synopsis:

In this game you need to light up or illuminate every streetlight on the street in order to win.

There are 6 Streets and a short tutorial on the first 2 levels.

You have 2 different tools, 1: The candle Lazer and 2: the Light bulb screwer.

The candle Lazer is used to light you candle streetlights (Tip: You can use the Lazer as sort of a light source. When the Lazer blasts collides with something they emit a brief flash of light you can use to your advantage) and The Bulb Screwer is (obviously) used to screw in Light bulb streetlights. 

But be careful! take a good look at the lightbulb before screwing it in. Because if the lightbulb is twitching that means it's faulty and will electrocute you if you try to screw it in.

Events (Spoiler warning):

there are 10 events in total,

  • Windy
  • Snowy 
  • Thundering
  • Flood
  • Reckless Drivers
  • Bird problem
  • Unidentified Flying Object
  • Red Light Car Light
  • ???
  • Foggy

If you are having problems getting past any one of these events, the here is a guide:

Windy, every few seconds, wind will start to blow you in the direction you are facing. You can counter this by walking in the direction opposite to what you are facing AKA walking backwards.

Snowy, if you are not near a lit streetlight you will freeze to death pretty quickly. Tip: if there are 2 streetlights close enough to each other you can stand between them and warm up much faster.

Thundering, every few seconds a "warning" will spawn on top of you once you hear this "warning" you must move out of the way before you are struck by lightning, A "warning" will not spawn on top of you while you are screwing in a lightbulb.

Flood, you have 150 seconds before you drown.

Reckless Drivers, every few seconds a Reckless Driver will spawn, they are not directly trying to hit you, but they will if you are not quick to move out of the way. Tip: They cannot spawn while you are screwing in a lightbulb but still can hit you, so you should start to screw in the lightbulbs once you cannot hear any cars moving.

Bird Problem, every few seconds a bird will spawn on top of a streetlight at start pecking at it. you need to blast them with your Lazer to make them go away before they cause the streetlight to go out again.

Unidentified Flying Object, A UFO will start to follow you around before attempting to beam you up into it. Tip: You can still move even if you are caught in the beam so be quick to move out of it. There is no fall damage btw ;)

Red Light Car Light, every 10 to 60 seconds you will be given a 3 to 6 seconds warning before it becomes "red light". If you move before green light, then you will be hit by a car. 

???, Mimic Candle lights will spawn posing as regular candle streetlights. the differences are pretty obvious, (unless your color blind to shades of red if so, I'm so sorry.) If you try to fire you Lazer at them they will start to chase you. A mimic version of your car will also spawn in and will hit you if you aren't looking at it.

Foggy, the less lethal event, you just have less visibility for the rest of the level.
