Sticker Ride is a short and sticky puzzler that sees you evading all manner of traps, coming soon

Shortbread Games' upcoming title, Sticker Ride, is a unique puzzle game where players guide a sticker along a treacherous path, dodging deadly traps to reach its destination. The gameplay revolves around precise timing, as forward movement is swift but backward movement is significantly slower, demanding careful maneuvering to avoid a variety of hazards, including buzzsaws, knives, and bombs.

The core mechanic is deceptively simple: propel the sticker forward along a predetermined route, but the path is riddled with obstacles that threaten to destroy it. Strategic retreats are crucial to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

While not a narrative masterpiece, Sticker Ride follows in the tradition of Shortbread Games' previous successes like Packed!?, offering a cleverly designed and well-executed concept within the indie mobile gaming sphere. Its short, engaging gameplay loop makes it a compelling addition to the mobile puzzle genre.

Stick it to the Competition

Currently in its pre-release phase, Sticker Ride has already generated buzz with its early trailer and screenshots. This game exemplifies the trend of short, yet highly engaging, indie mobile titles. It challenges the notion that bigger always equates to better, showcasing the value of innovative gameplay mechanics. While mainstream success isn't guaranteed, Sticker Ride offers a refreshing and intriguing puzzle experience.
