Short Life

What is Short Life?

Short Life is a darkly comedic, physics-based platformer that puts your survival instincts to the test. In this unique ragdoll challenge, your goal is simple but gruesome: get your character to the finish line in one piece. The world is filled with lethal hazards, from giant swinging saws to hidden landmines, and one wrong move can result in a hilariously disastrous end for your hero. It’s a game of precision, patience, and a bit of dark humor.

How to Play

Success in Short Life requires careful movement and quick thinking. You’ll need to master the environment to keep your character whole:

• Move: Use the Left and Right Arrow Keys (or A and D) to walk.
• Jump: Press the Up Arrow Key (or W) to jump over spikes and gaps. This also helps your character stand up if they've fallen.
• Crouch: Press the Down Arrow Key (or S) to duck under swinging blades or flying projectiles.
• Interact: Pay attention to on-screen prompts and hints—they often signal when to wait or when to run for your life!

Survival Tips for Players

Don't be in a rush! In Short Life, speed is often your enemy. Observe the patterns of moving traps before you attempt to cross them. Use the crouch mechanic frequently—many traps are designed to catch characters who are standing tall. Finally, keep an eye out for hidden stars; they are often tucked away in dangerous corners, but collecting them is the only way to prove you’re a true survival master.
