Shady Cats

Shady Cats, built by AZGames, runs on one cruel idea: you are your own worst enemy. Every fish you eat feeds a shadow that copies your route. Pick a cat, grab the fish, and try to outlast your own footprints. It opens straight in a browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Shady Cats: Your Run, Your Enemy

Forget patrolling monsters. The only threat here is the path you took a moment earlier. You jump across platforms, eat fish, and keep your route unpredictable.

Three habits that keep a run alive:

• Change your path every lap. A repeated route is a trap you set yourself.
• Plan two jumps ahead, not one.
• Check the landing spot before using screen wrapping. A shadow may be waiting on the other side.

Five Places to Chase Scores

Normal mode is a pure score chase. You choose from five locations: backyard, living room, kitchen, sunset rooftops, and fishing pier. The goal stays the same everywhere. Only the scenery changes, which helps when one stage starts to feel stale.

What You Unlock and Earn

Progress here is about collecting, not just surviving.

Flags on the boards add a bit of rivalry. A friend’s score is easy to spot, and easy to resent.

One Keyboard, Four Shadow Armies

Up to four players can share one device. Each player gets a different color and their own set of shadows. You can cooperate to last longer or race for the top score. Crowded screens bring surprises, and not all of them are friendly.
