Short Life 2

Short Life 2 is a side-scroll platform game with ragdoll physics, combining obstacle-course thrills and dark humour. You’ll guide a floppy hero through levels filled with spikes, saws and moving blades, aiming to finish each stage intact, collect stars and unlock characters. Your goal: survive the carnage with skill and timing.

SURVIVE THE CARNAGE IN SHORT LIFE 2

In Short Life 2 the gameplay centers on guiding a ragdoll character through highly dangerous levels packed with inventive traps. Every moment demands reflexes and anticipation—whether jumping, crouching, or timing your run, you’re trying to stay alive in a world built to kill you. Each of the 20 levels introduces new hazards and ways to die spectacularly, while you chase stars to unlock more content.

Game Controls

• Use the left/right arrow keys or A/D to move your character.
• Press the up arrow (or W) to jump or stand up.
• Press the Down Arrow (or S) to crouch under traps.

Tips & Tricks

• Observe the level layout before rushing — many deaths come from surprises.
• Timing is crucial — jumps and crouches need precision especially when platforms move.
• Collect stars in difficult positions to unlock new characters.
• Memorize trap locations with repeated runs to improve your survival rate.

OTHER OBSTACLE COURSE GAMES

• Vex 9 — precision jumps and platforming traps that challenge your reflexes.
• Stickman Hook — though different mechanics, it shares the minimalist style and high-skill demands.
