Shady Cats

Shady Cats is a colorful platformer that turns ordinary acorn collecting into a clever survival challenge. Every movement creates a shadow that can become your next enemy. Fish offers tempting bonuses, while fireflies provide temporary protection. Guide your cat to avoid its shadow and collect as many acorns as possible!

GAMEPLAY: COLLECT ACORNS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT

In Shady Cats, players move and jump across platforms to collect acorns while avoiding shadows that copy their previous movements. Retracing a familiar route can become dangerous when your shadow follows behind. Contact with a shadow ends the run, making careful positioning essential.

Fish, Bees, and Fireflies

Let’s explore three main special elements that change the way each run unfolds:

• Fish: Boosts acorn collection but attracts dangerous bees.
• Bees: Create additional hazards around tempting fish pickups.
• Fireflies: Temporarily eliminate shadows, creating opportunities to escape.

SURVIVE SOLO OR TEAM UP WITH FRIENDS

Shady Cats supports single-player and local multiplayer for up to four players on one device. Each cat needs to avoid its own pursuing shadow while navigating shared spaces. Coordinated routes can improve acorn collection, while crowded movement creates unexpected dangers. Friends can cooperate to survive longer or compete for higher scores.

Controls for Every Cat

Follow the cat from left to right and define your control system:

• Player 1: A / D or Q / D to move; W / Z to jump.
• Player 2: F / H to move; T to jump.
• Player 3: J / L to move; I to jump.
• Player 4: Left / Right Arrows to move; Up Arrow to jump.
