Chaos waits around every corner in Short Ride, where a single mistake can send your cyclist crashing into spinning saws or explosive traps. Staying alive matters more than speed, and every level turns into a strange mix of dark humor and dangerous obstacles.
Created by Gametornado as the sequel to Short Life, the game puts you on a bicycle and asks you to survive increasingly brutal courses. Careful balance, precise movement, and smart decisions are often the difference between victory and disaster.
Unpredictable problems are born from the realistic physics and challenging level design in Short Ride. You have to keep your speed in check, your bike balanced, and steer your rider through spikes, bombs, and other deadly traps on your way to the finish line.
There are also three collectible stars in each level for players seeking an added challenge. And the run can go on even after traumatic accidents, as long as the bike can still go. Lots of humorous and unexpected occurrences.
Dark humor and exaggerated ragdoll effects make every crash memorable. Losing an arm or suffering a nasty fall does not always mean the level is over.
Each level contains three stars scattered throughout the course. You often have to take calculated risks and be in perfect control to get there.
Difficulty ramps up slowly, with each subsequent stage including deadlier combinations of traps and layouts. Success is born of patience, not of frantic haste.
If you rush forward, it’s easy to send your rider flying into spikes or explosions. Slowing down and approaching ramps cautiously typically results in safer runs.
Even when your cyclist suffers injuries, the game sometimes allows you to continue. As long as the bike can still function, reaching the finish line remains possible.
Get on the bike and see how many brutal obstacle courses you can survive in Short Ride.
