Short Life is a delightfully dark physics-based platformer where you navigate a hapless ragdoll through deadly, trap-filled levels. With over-the-top gore, razor-sharp timing, and surprising humor, it's as thrilling as it is hilariously macabre. Ready to test your reflexes and keep your limbs intact?
How to Play
In Short Life, you guide your ragdoll through 16 brutally creative levels, dodging spiked arms, arrow traps, rolling barrels, and explosive mines. Move cautiously—each misstep means getting blown apart in comedic yet gruesome ways. Precision is key: jump over mines, crouch under obstacles, and follow the game's visual cues closely to survive. Collect up to three stars per level by playing skillfully and surviving intact. Quick reflexes and timing make the difference between full health and full-body dismemberment.

Embrace the mayhem and dive in; the goal is to remain unharmed for as long as possible. Short Life blends sharp wit with heart-pounding platforming—it's a wild ride for those who dare.
