Short Life is an awesome platform game with a unique twist – you must control our hero and attempt to guide him through a series of different levels. This might sound conventional, but you must also guide him safely without causing him harm or dislodging any of his limbs!
The game contains extra level packs and level editor!
(You need to purchase "Premium membership" to be able to save the created level in level editor or play extra level pack.)
Watch out for various obstacles on each level – you must avoid contact with spikes, jump over mines and look out for other devastating traps. The various traps will cause unimaginable harm to your hero – mines for example will blow your character into tiny gory pieces! This game requires great timing and reflexes and is a huge amount of fun!
- Plenty of traps that are waiting for you
-You can jump, crouch, run and hold to avoid the traps
