    Rage Runner takes the ever addictive "one more try" genre of obstacle dodging games made popular by previous titles such as Race the Sun, Avoid, or T.E.C 3001 and gives it more direction by ditching the abstract themes in favor of a more concrete sci-fi setting. In a way, the trench-running pillar-dodging style here is extremely reminiscent of the Death Star section of the '83 Atari Star Wars arcade game, one of the best arcade games of all time. You'll find all the usual factors of a great…

    On the surface, Rage Runner puts you in a fixed wing jet and forces you down a corridor in a race against the clock.The main game has two modes, endless and practice, which feels more like the real meat of the game. When you look deeper, you'll find an arcade mode that has its own main game that happens to be a 2.5D side scrolling shooter mixed with a mouse cursor shooting game. Inside the arcade mode is two mini games, one is Rage Runner's own version of Super Mario Brother's first level and…

    Just got this game while watching m1cr0star streaming it. He actually gifted it to me but even if he did not I would have grabbed this gem for 5 bucks. So far there are nine levels all of which have leaderboards. It's extremely fast paced and it just feels so cool screaming through corridors and dodging stuff. I also want to tell you that the devs (two of them made this game) seem really cool. They had both joined the stream and answered questions from everyone. They also said they will work…

    Best Flappy Bird clone I played ever in my life. 10/10 In all seriousness though, its a great game. :P Level design makes the levels very challenging and even if you complete the levels you have others to compete with for score on the Online Leaderboards. Is it an original game? No. Is it well executed? Yes. It offers a unique enough experience to stand on its own with the use of power-ups and thrusting to give it more variety and allow for great speedruns. :D Worth a buy if you are into…

    At first I thought it would be too easy, but after a few levels, the challenge increased. Our task is as a robot ball to reach the end of the route (something like rock of ages), and even though it's such a rather simple gameplay - it gives a lot of fun. It's fast, skillful and forces patience. The only thing missing is support with steam workshop for creating maps by players - mainly because of this handicap I can give only six stars.

    Not sure how to rate this game. It is a pure and simple game of trying to survive as long as possible and setting a High Score (Best Time). At least the main part of the game with the Level of the Day playing a game of "reach the checkpoints". There are also Levels, which can considered to be more of the "challenge" portion of the game like an obsticle course. Last, there is Arc, a game within a game which was apparently an OUYA game that got ported over. This does allow for upto 4 players to…

    rage runner is rage-inducing. at least when it comes to the levels in practise mode. this is a case of gameplay over everything else. it looks like crap, controls feel barely adequate and menu system is strange at best. still, it is a decent and addictive down-the-tube-obstacle-dodging game. definitely recommend.

    Rage Runner is an older game from 2014. It's a venerable 10 years old at the time of this review. It's sold as a "racing" game but this is really more like an endless tunnel runner, you don't have full 6DOF movement, it's very arcadey, and your goal really is to balance how fast you autorun and avoid all the obstacles. Like your usual 2D retro pixel endless runner except in 3D and somehow still not any better. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements…

    Rage Runner is one of those amateur games that really feels like an amateur game. There's not enough here to be worth adding to one's Steam library, regardless of price.

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    The game is cheap but not fun in all honesty... so I guess the name "Rage Runner" fits it well. First after lagging your computer before launch the game runs pretty smoothly and no tweaking is needed (not that you have many graphical options to tweak...). There are a few game modes and maybe 2 of these you will find interesting, the endless asteroid dodging simulator that is the "Endless Mode" and the non-practical "Practice Mode". Practice Mode is the most enjoyable experience that the game…

    To put it bluntly: There's little reason to play this game for more than a few minutes to get the full experience. You are a space craft in a constant forward run attempting to avoid objects. Any crash and you restart. The game has two modes: "Endless" and "Practice." Oddly, Practice is the actual game, or at least what you can consider a game as it has multiple levels and some manner of objective to the courses. Endless is as it sounds, a simple straight track that goes for as long as you can…

    Rage Runner, developed by Hypercane Studios and published by Plug In Digital, is a high-speed arcade racing experience that blends reflex-based obstacle dodging with a minimalist science fiction aesthetic. Rather than focusing on traditional racing mechanics like laps, opponents, or vehicle customization, the game distills the genre down to pure speed, reaction time, and memorization. It places players in control of a futuristic craft hurtling through narrow tunnels and geometric corridors,…

    I recently played Rage Runner and I must say, it is a truly amazing game. The procedurally generated 3D space-scapes are absolutely beautiful and provide a thrilling backdrop for the race. The game has a set of 13 hand-crafted challenges that put my skills to the test and are extremely challenging, yet incredibly addictive. I found myself shouting “just one more try!” every time I lost a race. The controls are tight and responsive, making it easy to navigate through the race. The level of the…

    Tags: Casual - Runner Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Frustating to play. Technical issues. No proper resolution support but has Xbox360 pad working out of box. I find the experience much poorer than most tube runners or most runners period. Rage runner offers two cruising speeds, way too slow, and way too fast by way of afterburner. The draw distance is a little bit shorter than you would need to use the fast speed, especially for larger objects which…
