Imagine living in a world where one wrong move is enough to send you to your death—that's Short Life. You control a fragile ragdoll hero, jumping over deadly obstacles.

Surviving On A Knife's Edge
The game combines ragdoll physics and brutal platforming, creating a challenging yet entertaining experience. Each level is a chaotic feast of sharp traps, spinning saw blades, explosive mines, and flying arrows. You have to carefully control your hero to reach the finish line intact. One wrong move could result in your hero losing an arm, a leg, or even their head. Players are encouraged to finish each stage with little harm by collecting the three stars. The stars unlock new characters, each with their own unique appearance and movement style. You can choose your favorite character to experience crazy jumps and reflexes across various levels. From small houses to environments filled with mines and industrial traps.

How To Control Your Character
On PC, you use A/D or the left/right arrow keys to move, W to stand up, S to crouch, and Space to jump. On mobile devices, touch controls or a virtual joystick provide a smooth experience. While the control mechanics are simple, the skill ceiling is very high. Precise movement, timely jumps, and avoiding collisions with traps are crucial for survival.
