About Shady Cats
Shady Cats is an engaging arcade platformer where you control cute cats as they explore environments filled with platforms and unexpected dangers. The greatest challenge comes from shadows—replicas of your own past movements—that retrace your previous path, turning familiar routes into hazardous obstacles. Collect fish, dodge dangers, and use special skills to clear each level. The game features a variety of environments, unlockable cats, and a local multiplayer mode.
Objective
Your goal in Shady Cats is to navigate and jump across platforms to collect fish while avoiding the cat shadows. Since every action you take can generate a shadow that perfectly mimics your path, precise timing and careful planning are essential.
Collecting fish boosts your score, but doing so may also attract bees, making your journey more difficult. Golden fish offer a chance to increase your score multiplier—so weigh the potential rewards against the risks!
Using Fireflies
When too many shadows appear on the screen, look for fireflies. They can temporarily clear away all the cat shadows, giving you a safer window to navigate through dangerous areas.
Choosing the Right Skill Cards
After completing levels in Shady Cats, you can select various skill cards to boost your chances of survival. Available abilities include:
- Shield: Provides extra protection against hazards.
- Vanish: Allows you to temporarily disappear to avoid threats.
- Slowdown: Helps you manage difficult situations more easily.
- Magnet: Attracts nearby items toward you.
Game Modes
Shady Cats supports local multiplayer for up to four players, all using a single keyboard. Each player has their own dedicated keys for movement and jumping, making it easy to challenge your friends on the same device.
Looking for a tougher challenge? Crazy Mode features endless levels where shadows from previous stages continue to appear and pursue you. As you progress further, every move requires careful calculation.
