Shady Bears is a platform game in which a bear collects acorns while being pursued by a shadow that repeats its previous movement. The shadow turns every route into a delayed danger, forcing the player to consider where both the bear and its copy will be a moment later.
What Is Shady Bears?
Air Guslar created Shady Bears with support for solo play and local multiplayer in browser versions. Hazards include the chasing shadows, stage obstacles, and other threats such as bees. Honey and fireflies can provide useful effects in supported editions, while the main objective remains collecting acorns without colliding with a shadow.

How to Play Shady Bears
Move deliberately because the shadow follows the path you have already taken. Reversing direction too often can create a dangerous overlap. Use platforms and open space to draw the shadow away from the next acorn before changing course.
In local multiplayer, every player has a separate key layout and must manage both personal shadows and the movement of the other bears. Coordination helps in cooperative situations, but crowded areas become dangerous quickly. Learn the assigned controls before attempting a long run.
