How it feels

You light up dark rooms as you explore a sprawling, open-ended labyrinth at your own pace, solving puzzles with teleportation and discovering new abilities.

What players say

Players describe 1000 Amps as a combat-free puzzle Metroidvania that rewards exploration, but timed puzzles and a confusing map cause frequent frustration. Some praise its minimalist design, while others warn of softlocks, an unsatisfying ending, and a low resolution that cannot be changed.
