4.3It's a fun race. The game is simple, only the first is happy. Only in the first place can the following games being played. The race is also very simple, you can collect the track board, you can use it to pave the road or you can keep it for the final score bonus. But it's the shortcut that counts. Are you ready?
You will die a lot, and that is the design. Arcade games expect it. Each run lasts until a single mistake, and then you are back at the start with a slightly better sense of the timing. Over a session of fifteen minutes you might play twenty rounds. Somewhere in the middle one of them goes well, and the number at the top of the screen jumps.
Shortcut Run is honest. There are no upgrades to buy and no grind, just you and your reaction time. Because it runs free in a browser tab, it is the sort of game you can open on a whim, play for five minutes, and leave without a trace.
Players who miss the directness of old cabinet games, and younger ones who have never seen a cabinet but like a dare. It suits phones well, so it is handy for anyone waiting in a queue.
