Shortbread Games' upcoming release, 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, utilizing the faster forward movement and slower backward movement to navigate buzzsaws, knives, and bombs.
The core mechanic is deceptively simple: push the sticker forward along a predetermined route. However, the numerous obstacles and the slower reverse speed demand careful planning and execution to avoid being sliced to pieces.
While not a complex game, Sticker Ride, like Shortbread Games' previous title Packed!?, offers an intriguing and well-executed concept within the indie mobile gaming sphere. This release embodies a refreshing approach to mobile gaming, prioritizing innovative gameplay over expansive scope. It's a testament to the value of experimentation in the mobile gaming market.
Currently in its pre-release phase, Sticker Ride has already generated interest with its early trailer and screenshots. It's a short, sweet, and compelling puzzle experience. While not necessarily aiming for mainstream success, it provides a captivating puzzle challenge.
