Intro:
Rest in Pieces isn’t your typical mobile horror game—it’s a frantic, swipe-to-survive nightmare where one wrong move ends your run. As an Aussie player who’s died (a lot), I’ve learned the hard way what not to do. Here’s how to avoid common pitfalls and last longer than a kangaroo in a horror movie.
1. Swiping Like a Madman
Mistake: Spamming random swipes when scared.
Why It Kills You: The game punishes panic. Many monsters have attack patterns (e.g., The Hanged Man always strikes left first).
Pro Tip: Pause for half a second to observe before moving.
2. Ignoring Sound Cues
Mistake: Playing on mute.
Why It Kills You: 80% of threats are telegraphed by sound (e.g., the Drowning Witch’s gurgle means she’ll emerge from below).
Pro Tip: Use headphones. That creepy whisper? It’s behind you.
3. Underestimating Aussie Easter Eggs
Mistake: Not recognizing local horror twists.
Why It’s Cool: Later levels feature Yowie-like creatures and storms inspired by Dreamtime myths. Die here for unique animations.
4. Hoarding Power-Ups
Mistake: Saving coins for “later.”
Why It’s Bad: Early upgrades (like Swift Swipes) drastically improve survival odds.
Pro Tip: Buy Shadow Cloak first—it lets you phase through one attack per run.
5. Rage-Quitting After Death
Mistake: Resetting the app to “cheat” death.
Why It Backfires: The game auto-saves instantly. You’ll just lose your progress.
Pro Move: Embrace permadeath—each run unlocks permanent buffs.
Final Tip: Watch the Red Moon event. When the sky turns crimson (every 15 mins), enemies move slower—perfect for risky coin grabs.
