1000 Amps

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

When I first started playing it, I hated it and found it way too frustrating. I would often fail rooms by taking leaps of faith or falling down unseen holes. But after a few hours, and a few power-ups, I started to enjoy it more and more and ended up finishing it with 100%. It was a bit repetitive and frustrating at times, but the combination of some interesting ideas and a wonderful aesthetic (both in visuals and sound) is always a winner in my book. I suggest waiting for a Steam sale to pick this up; you may be pleasantly surprised.

1000 Amps is a puzzle/exploration platformer where you complete your adventure by lighting up different rooms. As you light up more of each room, you get abilities you can use such as teleportation, which you use to hit more lights and travel between rooms. The puzzles are pretty fun to solve. There's a moderate amount of difficulty: some solutions require figuring out platforming tricks, but any puzzle that's unsolvable probably requires something you don't have yet. One problem is that you can sometimes get farther than you should along a certain path with skill, just to find yourself unable to turn around. I was lucky I saved enough seeds to get out; I might have had to restart. The endgame is terrible. Nothing in the game prepares you for the end boss, since that is the only fight in the game. The condescending remarks from your ally do not help. This is a fun game worth picking up if you enjoy puzzles or Metroidvania-style platforming. It's short, but I definitely enjoyed it.

It's the type of game you play instead of solitaire: there's not much to do, but it relaxes you. I sometimes I play it in short breaks at work (10 minutes). It was worth the price for me.

1000 Amps is quite an unusual game, it has a very interesting mechanics and its really fun, but it could get really hard and frustrating to play it, but after all, its a good game and worth buying...

A boring and frustrating flash game turned into a boring desktop application. 100 Amps looks and sounds great for half a hour, but then it's just another average indie platform Game.

I find this game terrible, i never find a game so bad i have to give it a 3. I only give it a 3 because i guess some people might like it? its an interesting game i guess, unique, the music tones as you run along is...interesting...i suppose, but this game is just stupid. Basically you cant see anything in any room your in and have to hit certain blocks you gotta jump around to find untill you light up the room, the only problem is some room arent solvable untill you complete a different part of the game but whos to know if your missing something or doing something wrong its pitch black. Not the mention most rooms you run along trying to find the lights when suddenly you fall through the floor and down past 4 more rooms to be someplace where you cant even get your bearings of where you are or been anymore. There is a really really rugged map thats tuff to understand since its so blocky and undefined from room to room. I dunno i played this game for a couple hours and i dont think ill ever play it again. The games fun for the first 20 mins untill you start falling thru floors and rooms and are lost in some abysmal part of the whole map thats nearly impossible to get out of because you cant see anything and have no idea where to go. Frustrating and just a bad game in my opinion : /
