About Shortcut Runner
In Shortcut Runner, race against cunning rivals by collecting floorboards to create strategic shortcuts.

A thrilling mix of speed and strategy awaits as you redefine what it means to cheat!
It's a straightforward arcade game that gets out of your way and lets you play. It's tuned to load fast and play smoothly whether you've got five minutes or an hour.
A couple of things help once you get going: Memorize the first minute of each level. Reflexes carry you the rest of the way. Learn what each power-up does before grabbing it — the wrong one can wreck a good run.
