About Short Life
Short Life is a trap platformer with a grisly sense of humour: each level is a corridor of spikes, saws, mines and crushing weights, and the goal is to reach the finish with your character intact.
The joke is that surviving is only half of it — the game tracks whether you arrive in one piece, and the ways it can dismember you are a substantial part of the appeal.
