Rage in Peace started out as a prototype developed during the "Indies vs PewDiePie" Game Jam in 2014.[2] Although the game did not make top 10 out of the 800 submissions to be played in PewDiePie's channel (it ranked 17th), it was played on his stream regardless, causing other YouTube channels to play the game as well and drawing interest into it.[3]
