Short Life

About Short Life

Short Life is a physics platformer where staying alive is a miracle. You control a man who is walking through a house full of deadly hazards. Your objective is to get to the exit sign alive. However, the path is covered in mines, blades, and heavy weights. 

How to Play Short Life

Balancing and Jumping

The hero can easily lose his balance. You must move slowly when the ground is slippery. Keeping the character upright is your first priority in every level. If he tips over, he might slide into a trap by accident. Many obstacles move in a back-and-forth pattern like a clock. You need to wait for the perfect gap before you try to run past them. Jumping too early often leads to a very painful collision. Watch the rhythm of the machines to find your opening.

Using the Environment

You can interact with boxes and chairs to clear a path. Sometimes you must push an object onto a button to open a door. These puzzles require you to think before you act. Using the items around you can make a level much easier to finish.

Game Controls

• Use the Left and Right arrows to walk.
• Press Up to jump
• Down to sit or crawl.

Conclusion
