Shady Cats

Shady Cats is a casual platformer game for players who enjoy games that require speed and strategy. You are a platforming cat who is avoiding deadly shadows.

A cool mechanic about Shady Cats is how the shadows mirror your moves. The movement you make and the direction you choose could be dangerous, so you should think before moving. As you add more shadows, you need to navigate even more to reach safety.

Meet the Cat and Its Mysterious Shadow

You’d be surprised by how much is in this game considering how easy the description makes it sound. Shady Cats starts with you controlling a cat as he makes his way across different platforms to gather food. After a few seconds, though, you will be surprised by how challenging this game is with its simple shadow addition.

The shadow replicates each action, including jumping and movement, so if you are too quick, you will be sorry you made a decision so suddenly. As the game adds more and more shadows, you will have more and more trouble trying to control the limited space of your feline protagonist.

The game combines the excitement of adventure and the strategy of survival to make for one fun platformer game.

Move Between Platforms to Fish for Survival

Collecting fish in Shady Cats means surviving in the most efficient way possible. In most cases, it involves collecting a few platforms to move and getting some space from potential danger.

But sometimes it’s not that easy. The most obvious path isn’t necessarily the safest one.

Consider the layout of the platforms before leaping for that collectible. You’ll probably have to reconsider your decision once you think about what happens when you land in the next position. Oftentimes the better choice is just to leave it for now.

Top players are those who can balance the need to fish and the desire to stay out of the way of threats by collecting a safe landing zone and leaving plenty of space.

How to Control Your Cat

You will find getting into the game's simple design, focusing on traversing obstacles over trying to remember complex input combinations, to be very easy.

Left Arrow/A: Move cat left
Right Arrow/D: Move cat right
Spacebar/Up Arrow: Jump on platforms

In most cases, controls will be the same, but it's best to check the game's directions if controls are different for your game.
