Shortcut Run: Tips and Tricks

When it comes to the ultimate casual games, nothing beats Voodoo and its addicting band of games. Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard of Paper.IO, Hair Rush, and Shortcut Run. Voodoo casual games are easily identified for their fast-paced game style and, most importantly, their signature colors. When a game is called “hyper casual”, like virtually all Voodoo games, it is a pretty easy to get into kind of game and, not to mention, it should be free. The interface of hyper casual games should also be incredibly straightforward for any kind of player. Shortcut Run is one of the newest in the long line of Voodoo hyper casual games and we dare say, it is as fun as all its other predecessors, if not more.

What you will immediately notice with Shortcut Run is that it is an easy game to get into. It is so easy that even younger players would quickly rise up in the game. Nevertheless, Shortcut Run is still loaded with secrets and techniques that, when known, can really make or break the game. There are some stuff that we know and applied through playing Shortcut Run and we also hope you would find these useful.

• Be Original

The game is called Shortcut Run because, despite having regular roads, good players would be able to find their own way. In Shortcut Run, taking the road less travelled is literally the best course of action. Shortcut Run, as the name implies, is not a game about merely following the road because otherwise you will find yourself trailing against your enemies. First off, gather enough floor boards to create a shortcut. Our second tip is that, as much as possible, do not follow the road turns and instead, try to walk straight. In geometry, we have learned all the sides of a triangle, especially the hypotenuse which is shorter than the two other sides combined. As a player of Shortcut Run , the more you look for your own way, the more you will succeed.

• Small but terrible

Shortcut Run is also a competition against other like-minded players and you will really find yourself struggling especially when you are playing against good players. Apart from our previous tip about walking in a straight line instead of simply following the road, we have another thing to impart especially when you are having a hard time gathering floorboards and matching up to your opponents. As you have probably noticed, there are small islands on the sides that take quite a few floorboards to go to. Even though it could be scary, give it a chance because it will always be worth it especially since the islands have so many floorboards.

• Face your fears

There is more to Shortcut Run than meets the eye. Of course, there are also some obstacles in the game to really up the ante. When you first look at the obstacles that await you, you might get discouraged immediately. No matter what your fears are, obstacles should be faced with integrity and not be overlooked. Always try to go beyond your limits and see how other players do it for you to get over obstacles too. There are even obstacles that can put you in the air and increase your movement speed.
