Huggy Shortcut Run is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is racing, parkour & running and block & tetris-like. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Huggy Shortcut Run
Race with opponents and collect as much boards as you can along the track! As you build shortcuts, you’re going to start running faster. But the more you stack boards the more you slow down.
How to play Huggy Shortcut Run
Nothing here needs explaining twice. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Huggy Shortcut Run stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It is not trying to be anything larger, and it is better for it.
