Short Ride

Short Ride turns a casual bike journey into a hilariously brutal obstacle course. It’s a physics-based challenge where nearly everything is trying to hurt you, and survival depends on your timing, agility, and willingness to lose a few limbs along the way.

Avoiding Everything That Hurts

This game features side-scrolling levels filled with spikes, saws, traps, arrows, and other hazards. As you pedal through the terrain, even a small misstep can send your character flying into chaos. Short Ride emphasizes experimentation—learning through trial and a lot of comical error.

Riding mechanics are smooth but unforgiving. Speeding downhill gives you momentum for jumps, but it also makes obstacles harder to dodge. Stopping too late or hitting a trigger pad can cause massive, limb-losing consequences.

Interactive Obstacles and Physics

The game excels in its physics engine. Almost everything reacts realistically: limbs detach on impact, pressure plates activate swinging axes, and traps reset after a cycle. This adds both unpredictability and strategy to each level.

• Spring traps fling you across the map, sometimes to safety, often not.
• Spiked blocks swing down at precise moments—timing is everything.
• Barrels and vehicles roll downhill if triggered, becoming hazards themselves.

How to Survive a Little Longer

If you want to last more than a few seconds in Short Ride, keep these tips in mind:

1. Take your time—speed increases your risk.
2. Memorize trap positions after each failed attempt.
3. Use the environment to shield your character from hits.

Short Ride is not about winning quickly; it’s about making it to the end in one piece—or at least with your head still attached. Each level is a creative test of reflexes and resilience, wrapped in humor and ragdoll chaos.
