Selected Press
* Kotaku: “If you want to play a game that feels like every weird Adult Swim animated show thrown together into a blender, then you should check out 1000 Deaths.”
* Famitsu: “For fans of hardcore ‘die-and-try’ games with a mindset like ‘Death is the essence of action games,’ 1000 Deaths is definitely worth keeping an eye on.”
* Rock Paper Shotgun: “1000 Deaths is cynical, not sadistic, so while its story doesn’t always branch out in ways you’d expect, it does manage to ground the choice options in surprisingly relatable terms.”
* Gamer Social Club: “1000 Deaths is enjoyable indie that takes a lot of inspiration from TV pop-culture and infuses it with classic platforming gameplay, then garnishes with its creative gravity-bending mechanic.”
* Screen Hype: “…The platforming aspect was tight and responsive. With the interesting mechanic of my character being able to defy gravity, walk around curved edges, or hang upside down. It’s a small detail, but it enhanced the gameplay and offered some much-needed variety in the levels.”
* Checkpoint Gaming:"…1000 Deaths is overall a fulfilling platforming experience. It has a difficulty to it, especially with the added timed trophies you can aim for, but it never feels insurmountable, which I appreciated."
