About Shady Cats

When Your Own Shadow Is the Enemy

Most games give you monsters to run from. Shady Cats gives you something stranger: your own shadow. It copies every move your cat makes and follows close behind, waiting for one mistake. Touch it and the run is over. This cute platform game turns a simple idea into a surprisingly tense test of planning and reflexes.

How to Play Shady Cats

Run left and right and jump between platforms to collect fish. In Shady Cats, the shadow replays your exact path a moment later, so every step you take now becomes a danger in a few seconds. Rushing back and forth is the fastest way to trap yourself. The longer you survive, the more fish you eat, and things get even trickier when extra shadows join the chase.

Controls

• Left / Right Arrow: move
• Up Arrow or Spacebar: jump

Game Modes and Playing With a Friend

Two modes give you different levels of challenge. Normal is the best place to learn how the shadow follows you, while Crazy turns up the pressure with a faster, wilder chase. Shady Cats can also be enjoyed with a friend, turning the shadow chase into a fun race to see who survives longer and collects more fish.

Tips to Outrun the Shadow

• Check that a fish has a safe route before going for it
• Avoid doubling back over the path you just took
• Keep moving, because standing still lets the shadow catch up fast
• Use jumps to change levels and put distance between you and your shadow

With its bright visuals, adorable cat and quick rounds, Shady Cats is a fun pick for a short break on Boy Games.
