    With every death. A little part of me died along with it. I came looking for fun. I started with fun. But I ended. With feels. Game was up and down. Just like how it depicts life. Full of ups and downs. Full of surprises. Full of traps. Ultimately. Everything's out to kill you. I hate the makers. I love the music. I really hated the makers. THey're so mean. 10/10 would buy again. P.S: I'm waiting for a sequel.

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'm too old for die-alot-platformer. But seriously, the story keep me going, it's like talking deep with someone about journey of life (and death). The music are great, the artwork are good. All trap need to be memorized and it's still manageable for me (only 2 level right now, though). Well played, devs!

    You have to die, because obstacles that kill you are unavoidable by reaction/reflexes or they are invisible, you need to die and play a memory game, repeat until you memorize the whole level in advance.

    This game will kill you in a 1000 silly & unpredictable ways, but it also rewards you with a surprisingly touching story and satisfying gameplay once you have memorized the levels! Highly recommended :)

    This reminded me of old school games Rick Dangerous and (one of the games called) Barbarian. But unfortunately this game suffers by the comparison - those games mostly had visible clues as to what was going to try to kill you, and sometimes subverted the expectation which was okay because doing that *occasionally* is like a funny joke. This one, however, just has things pop out of literally nowhere and kill you instantly, almost exclusively. So instead of "remember how this trap works" it's…

    TL;DR --> It's a trap game because you didn't see the emotional storyline coming. --------------------------------------------------- I... I did not expect Rage In Peace to be this good. If you are here you clearly know what you're up to. Rage In Peace (RIP from now on) is a 2D platformer with a subgenre known as trap games. Trap games usually take the shape of a platformer already, and they feature traps and obstacles too fast and too unpredictible to be able to react in time. At the…

    Been long for me from playing sidescrolling game. But boy oh boy... what a roller-coaster. This game get very hard towards the end (mid Kalimazonia onwards I think). Very challenging. Need rest from time to time to unwind myself. The story was quite deep and compelling. Gameplay and level design is -surprisingly- full of surprise in a good way. Graphics are good, stunning view and scenery. Soundtracks were amazing. The villains character and boss battles mechanic were -punishingly- creatives.…

    Its not hard, its unfair. This entire game is trial and error though it is generous enough with checkpoints. But there's no way to predict obstacles so its all about dying and remembering. If you like games like cat Mario then go for it. The stories alright as well but i really cant be bothered with dying over and over again because of ♥♥♥♥ I can't see. The game clearly did a good job with what it wanted to do though. It looks good, the musics good, didn't get far enough into the story but the…

    Excellent side scroller, if you love games like Unfair Mario. You will die a lot until you figure out each level. Thankfully, there are a lot of checkpoints (and, if you need more, they added the "goldfish mode"). The story is very nice and the music is cool. I don't think I encountered any bugs and generally the performance was pretty good. My only "complaint" would be the last part of Act 4... That was PTSD-inducing and the only part I actually used the "goldfish mode". Other than that,…

Pros: - Hand-drawn art is breathtakingly gorgeous - Music is amazing - Game is very hard but not impossible - Interesting protagonist and story - Very polished gameplay - Not repetitive, levels bring variety and new challenges Cons: - Low replayability Good job everyone at Rolling Glory Jam and I am very excited for future projects! https://youtu.be/5PWXIJ3Y0qE

    PLayed for like, 30 minutes, enough to beat the first world, segment...seciton. idk. World 1/ Anyways, the game is pretty darn clever, the graphical style is nice. You decide if the music is for oyu, I can't rate it. This is pretty much " I wanna be the Guy " you are going to die a lot of times, you will need to remember what not to do. NOrmally, this style of gameplay is frustrating, but Timmy here learns on his own, and will start to warn you to impending doom with marks from his character, a…

    I don't really enjoy downvoting this game, because it does a lot right, and it's a well made game. It seems professionally made and made with heart. The story is engrossing without taking itself too seriously, and the effort to inject "lore" by providing a journal and info on all the different manner of deaths shows that this wasn't some lazily made cash in. A lot of thought was put into this, and from what I played it didn't have a lot (or any that I encountered) bugs. BUT, it's just not…

I love the writing: The writing isn't flawless but it has this charm to it, and its a good break from constanly dieing. Love love the hand-drawn art style: Why wouldnt you love it. Controls well: and by well i mean really good, controls are tight and never felt like I died because of them. Runs super well: Like you can run it on a potato. It doesn't…

    "Rage in Peace" is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. It's yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. It's also one of the worst Nintendo Switch ports I've ever seen... the sheer laziness of the port is frankly insulting. It's riddled with technical and design…

    don't even bother with this game. It starts with very interesting levels, but -It gives you a story who ones give a damn. -You have to press the A bottoum more than 2 minutes sometimes to stop the dialog -And the stupid parts starts in the last levels with no reason This game is a game of mind its to painful, if you only want to see the game for the first hours ok but if you wont to finish it don't do it unless you are a genius.

    If you're a fan of games such as She Wants Me Dead and Super Meat Boy you're going to want to pick this up without a second thought. Bearing in mind that unlike Meat Boy's Twitch response style of progression, this one is more about learning from your mistakes. The traps are invisible meaning you can't realistically progress through reaction you'll simply die and be more prepared the next time you try to cross it. Personally I'm not a fan of that style of game as I prefer being able to plan…

The score, the conversations with the npcs, the intro videos for each level, the level design everything is top-notch. At first I was raging and rage quit. Then I came to understand that this game is part of a genre called rage quitting game. From then on I started laughing whenever I died. It is part of the joke I was let in from then on. It is one of the funniest games, definitely in the top…

Fingers' crossed this will be a sleeper hit for its genre!

    This game is a pain in the ass. BUT, that's kinda the point. The visuals are pleasing, there's a good story going on. As long as you have decent memory of placement of traps you can get by. BUT THE BEST PART!!?? The Soundtrack is absolutely amazing, like nothing I've ever heard in a game. Usually you get some sort of electronic chiptune or something in games. NOT IN THIS GAME. You get mesmerizing heavy distortion, shoegaze, walls of sound in the cutscenes. I was blown away when Heaven's…

    Developed Rolling Glory Jam, Rage in Peace is a 2D platformer in the same vein as I Wanna Be the Guy. You take the role of Timmy, an emotionally stunted 27 year old, who has learned that he is going to die before the end of the day. Fortunately for Timmy, the grim reaper has decided to give you the chance to get back home to fulfill your dream, that being dying in your sleep. Unfortunately, you’ll have to traverse through a bevy of obstacles and hazards as you try to make it to your bed. Pros:…

    Rage in Peace is a scroller (not always side) with a difference. In Rage in Peace you play a young man of 27 who has found out he is going to die this very day by decapitation! This thwarts his only true dream in life; to die peacefully at home in bed. So we embark on an adventure to cheat death long enough for our hero to get home and hopefully cheat his fate, but some one or something isn't happy about it and they are making things hard. The game play usually consists of trying to get to…

    This is more of a personal issue but I couldn't figure out how to change the controls from arrow keys to WASD. I went into options, then controls, where it showed the keyboard layout. It said at the bottom "Space = Change" essentially but hitting space didn't let me change anything and the more I looked into it I couldn't find any way to change the controls. The game looks like fun and the premise is interesting but I just find the arrow keys uncomfortable as someone who's used to WASD so I'm…

More like....tedious. A difficult game gives you a chance to use those finely honed gamer skills to avoid obstacles. This game offers none of that.

I appreciate the difficulty options, because if the game play is more difficult than you can handle, it's still easily accessible, and the story is so worth the challenge level of the game. Timmy was too damn relatable.

    The story of this game is really well told for the most part. The music is great overall. The gameplay can be fun at times and frustrating at others, which might be the point of the game, life has it's ups and downs. If you're wondering if you'd like the game or not well... if you liked the demo, then you'll enjoy the full game even more. If you didn't like the demo, you might not enjoy the game, easy as that.

    This game is like cat mario in the sense that it's purposely unfair and will kill you for pretty much anything. The game itself isn't bad actually, it very much takes a lot of patience in order to get through a level as everything kills you. The reason you shouldn't buy it is because it costs $12. All you can do in this game is jump. for refrence, you can buy games like fallout nv and terraria for a few bucks more. Buy this game on sale or not at all.
