Shortcut Pro

By FUZHOU

Shortcut Pro is a free browser running race where you pick up pedals as you sprint and spend them on shortcut bridges that cut ahead of your rivals. Steering is a matter of swiping left and right across the track to line up with the pedals you need. The goal is simple: hit the finish line before the other runners. It plays in your browser on desktop and mobile, with no download.

How to Play Shortcut Pro

You control a runner moving forward down a track. Swiping left and right shifts your position, and that steering is how you sweep up the pedals scattered along the route. Pedals are your currency for the whole race, so the line you take matters as much as the direction you're heading.

When a shortcut opens up, your collected pedals get laid down as a bridge. That's the payoff for collecting: a route that puts you past the opponents running the normal way. The catch is stated plainly in the rules — if you don't have enough pedals for the bridge, you fall in. Committing to a shortcut with a thin stock of pedals is a risk, not a free win.

The race ends at the finish line, and the aim is to arrive first. Every run is a balance between grabbing more pedals and pushing ahead of the runners around you.

Tips

  1. Treat pedals as a budget: the more you bank early, the more shortcuts you can afford later.
  2. Don't take a shortcut on a near-empty stock of pedals — running short means you fall in.
  3. Swipe in small corrections to stay on the line where pedals are grouped rather than swinging wide across the track.
  4. Passing rivals matters more than raw speed, so time your shortcuts for when you're behind the pack.

Who made Shortcut Pro?

Shortcut Pro was developed by FUZHOU and released in 2021 as an HTML5 game.

What happens if I don't collect enough pedals?

You fall in. Pedals are what your shortcut bridge is made from, so if your stock runs short while building one, the run ends badly — keep collecting before you commit.

How do I win a race?

Reach the finish line ahead of the other runners. Shortcut bridges built from collected pedals are the main way to get past them.
