Short Ride

Short Ride is a physics-based bike obstacle game that is equal parts hilarious, dangerous, and utterly unpredictable. As the spiritual sequel to the popular Short Life, this game continues the theme of navigating deadly environments in the most ridiculous ways possible—with your limbs barely intact.

Bike, Bleed, and Break Your Way Through the Course

In Short Ride, your objective is simple: ride your bicycle from one end of the level to the other. However, the world is filled with merciless traps—spinning saws, arrows, crushing blocks, and explosive hazards—all designed to mangle your rider in spectacular slow-motion fashion.

Unlike typical bike games, success in Short Ride requires finesse and luck. Tilting your rider’s weight, controlling momentum, and choosing the right jump angle are critical to avoiding a gruesome fate.

• Physics-based mayhem: Realistic ragdoll mechanics turn every crash into a spectacle.
• Deadly obstacles: From swinging axes to launch pads that send you flying into spikes.
• Dynamic level design: No two attempts feel the same thanks to interactive traps.

Creative Chaos Meets Hilarious Animation

The game leans heavily into comedic violence, with absurd animation sequences where your character may lose a leg, an arm, or even their head—yet continue pedaling! This slapstick tone keeps frustration at bay and makes every failure oddly entertaining.

Even partial success feels rewarding, as surviving a trap by the skin of your teeth often means limping hilariously to the finish line.

• Gore toggle: Customize your experience with or without cartoonish blood effects.
• Multiple vehicles: Unlock additional bikes or carts for different physics experiences.
• Dark humor: A unique tone that balances violence with levity.

Master the Madness

There are no shortcuts in Short Ride. Players must learn how each obstacle functions and how the rider’s physics respond. Planning when to slow down, when to jump, and how to land makes all the difference between dismemberment and victory.

• Use checkpoints: Many levels offer midway points to resume from after failure.
• Analyze the level: Watch patterns of moving traps before committing to action.
• Don’t rush: Precision and patience beat reckless speed every time.

If you enjoy games that are both brutal and comically satisfying, Short Ride delivers with over-the-top ragdoll chaos and unforgiving obstacle courses that will test your nerves and reflexes.
