Light the Lamp is a casual puzzle game about inserting the hanging plug into the socket, with numerous hurdles to light a lamp.

How to play Light the Lamp

Each step has a hanging plug and socket at the beginning. You must carefully navigate the plug, regulate cord length, and use simple mechanisms without touching blades or red-marked cutters. Levels increasingly incorporate cable-held switches, tight passages that challenge precision, and layouts that reward strategy over pure power. To win, approach a live plug and the lamp glows.

Controls

• Move or swing the plug precisely with the arrow keys or WASD.
• When a route fails, restart quickly.
• In some builds, Esc pauses or returns to the menu.
• Some versions allow fine cable extension or retractation with Up/Down.

Tips & tricks

• Mentally map your route before moving. Every inch counts.
• Create safe blade arcs with cable shielding on walls.
• No worries about restarts. Learning loops include fast resets.
• Thread a tight gap after stabilizing the plug. Small inputs beat huge swings.
