The first native iPhone game has landed. [Lights Off][2], which was developed by Lucas Newman and Adam Betts (Newman is one of the programmers behind [Delicious Monster][3]), is a puzzle game that takes advantage of the iPhone's touch screen interface.

The game appears to based on the Lights Out game from Tiger Electronics which has inspired other offshoots in the past (there's an online flash version [here][1]).

Here's a description of Lights Off from the host site:

>The objective is to switch all of the lights out. Tapping a light toggles it, along with the four adjacent lights. Once you switch all of the lights out, you'll advance to the next level

And mind you this isn't just a web-based game, this is a native iPhone app. Unfortunately that also means installation requires some fairly complicated steps and it could void your warranty or conceivably brick your phone. 

We doubt you'll end up bricking your phone, but do keep in mind the Light Off disclaimer: "Lights Off is provided on an 'as is' basis, without warranty of any kind. If your iPhone breaks, don't cry on our shoulders."
