Short Life is a very funny physics-based action game where you control a character trying to make it through stages packed with traps. On the way up spikes, chainsaws, explosives and many other hazards pop up so it’s anything but easy to cross the finish line.
The charm of the game is in how the character responds to the environment. One false step and it's harm or instant failure.
In the short story Life, you have to steer your character past a variety of traps along the path. Some of the barriers are obvious, but others are in situations that take careful inspection to notice.
Sometimes, running quickly is not the answer. In some parts you have to slow down, leap at the right time or halt before proceeding. As you go on, the placement of traps becomes more and more unexpected.
Progression via levels
And you control your character to go on and discover a way to get past each area. Look at the way ahead.
Avoid Pitfalls
Spikes, saws and other obstacles can arise almost anywhere. You'll need to time your jumps or moves to dodge them.
Keep it even
The physics of the character makes the movement sometimes surprising. Avoid making too aggressive moves near traps.
Cross the finish line!
The aim is to finish the level and stay alive. If you fail - retry and recall the positions of the traps which made you make blunders.
Look Before You Leap: Many traps need to be spotted in advance.
Don’t Run Too Fast – If you slow down, you can avoid risky circumstances.
Jump Timing: Jump too soon or too late and you’re stuck.
Remember Trap Locations: You'll get better at dealing with them after each failure.
Watch Out For Physics: If you play the character too rough they can get out of balance.
If you like physics based obstacle course games with a bit of humour, try Short Life. Be careful not to fall into any traps, and attempt to get your character to the finish line intact!
Take a break and enjoy the Challenge Rush game!
