Shadow Chase – Tag or Outlast
Shadow Chase is local tag. In 2P, Player 1 steers the blue hunter with WASD and Player 2 steers the faster green runner with arrows. Three tags win for the hunter; surviving 60 seconds wins for the runner. Alone? Switch to 1P vs AI and you are the runner.
About this game
After each tag both sides snap back with a short cooldown so contact cannot chain. The runner is slightly faster—cut angles and feint. Press R or click the board after a match to rematch. Use the 1P / 2P buttons to switch. Fullscreen enlarges the arena.
