📖 About this Game

About Shady Bears

Get ready for a forest adventure where your biggest rival is... yourself! Shady Bears is a thrilling, fast-paced platformer that puts a unique twist on the classic collection quest. As a cute bear on the hunt for delicious acorns, you'll soon discover that every step you take creates a "shadow" that mimics your movements—and touching it means game over!

How to Play

The goal is simple: gather as many acorns as possible to advance. However, the more you move, the more shadows you create. These shadowy bears will follow your exact path, forcing you to plan your jumps and sprints with precision.

Look out for Honey to give your score a massive boost, but beware of the angry bees it attracts! If things get too crowded, keep an eye out for Fireflies—catching one will instantly clear away a shadow, giving you some much-needed breathing room.

Multiplayer Mode (Up to 4 Players!)

The real chaos begins when you invite friends. Shady Bears supports local multiplayer for up to 4 players on a single keyboard. Work together to clear the screen of acorns, but be careful: you aren't just dodging your own shadow, you're dodging everyone else's too!

Controls:

Player 1: Arrow Keys to move and jump.
Player 2: WASD keys.
Player 3: I, J, K, L keys.
Player 4: T, F, G, H keys.

Pro Survival Tip

"Don't run in circles! Since your shadow follows your exact path, moving in predictable patterns will quickly trap you. Try to lead your shadows to one side of the screen before jumping to a higher platform to clear a path."
