Shortcut Race Gameplay
Shortcut Race is an arcade racing game where players collect boards and use them to build bridges across water and other obstacles. You run forward automatically, steering to gather boards and choosing when to spend them on a shortcut. Reach the finish line before your rivals.
- Collect boards: Use boards to create shortcuts, take a faster route, or cross water.
- Place bridges carefully: Build at the right moment so you don’t give opponents an easier route.
- Watch for obstacles: Traps and rivals can throw you off, so keep an eye on the track.
- Earn bonus points: Finish quickly and collect items to unlock character skins and skateboards.
- Restart after a fall: Falling into the water means restarting the level.
Choose between the shorter, riskier route and a safer path as you aim for a high score.
Controls
- Arrow keys / WASD: Move left or right.
- Spacebar / click: Jump over obstacles and gaps.
