About Short Life

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!

It's a straightforward adventure game that gets out of your way and lets you play. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.

A couple of things help once you get going: Talk to every NPC at least once — quests often hide in conversation, not on the map. Inventory matters: don't drop items just because they seem useless. Combine them later.

Short Life plays free in your browser on Glaze Games — one click and you're in, on any phone, tablet, or laptop, with no sign-up wall.
