How to Play Shorts
Quick start
Start the first episode, practise the current jump and follow the first special-power prompt. When drawing activates, make a short support and test its reach.
Controls
Use the DS movement and jump prompts taught in the opening. In enabled sections draw temporary platforms or shields with the stylus; drawing is not available everywhere.
Shorts — About this game
Four children tackle the chaos caused by a wish-granting rock across three episodes. Nose can grow plants for climbing, Loogie reaches heights with a flying creature, and Toe or Helvetica extend jumps with different helpers. At designated drawing sections, the stylus creates temporary supports that can also block hazards. Begin by learning the current child's jump, then use a line only where drawing is enabled. A support may need to provide a landing place while shielding a laser, so check both its position and purpose.
