Shortbread Games' upcoming title, Sticker Ride, is a unique puzzle game where players guide a sticker along a perilous path, dodging deadly traps. The gameplay involves navigating a predetermined route, avoiding buzzsaws, knives, and bombs to successfully place the sticker. The challenge lies in the asymmetrical movement speed: forward movement is fast, while backward movement is significantly slower, demanding precise timing to escape hazardous crossfire.
While not a complex narrative, Sticker Ride follows the intriguing, well-executed design of Shortbread Games' previous releases like Packed!?. This indie mobile game embraces a short, sweet, and experimental approach, harkening back to a time when mobile gaming prioritized innovative gameplay over sheer scale.
Currently in its pre-release phase, Sticker Ride has already generated buzz with an early trailer and screenshots. The game exemplifies a trend in the indie mobile scene: smaller, cleverly designed experiences. While not necessarily aiming for mainstream blockbuster status, Sticker Ride offers a compelling puzzle challenge worth exploring.
