Game Overview

Scratch Cat Run Cycle v2.3 is a delightful animation project featuring the beloved Scratch Cat in a smooth and dynamic run cycle. With 16 meticulously drawn frames for running, additional frames for jumping, and a turning animation, this update brings Scratch Cat to life like never before. Created in Adobe Illustrator and imported into Scratch as SVG images, the animations are crisp and fluid, perfect for game developers and animation enthusiasts looking to enhance their projects with high-quality sprites.

Recommendation

This game is perfect for Scratch enthusiasts, budding game developers, and animation lovers. The detailed run cycle and additional animations provide a fantastic resource for learning sprite animation or adding a professional touch to your Scratch projects. The open-ended nature of the costumes allows for creative freedom, making it a must-have for anyone looking to experiment with character movement in their games.

How to Play

  1. Movement Controls: Use the keyboard arrow keys (left and right) to make Scratch Cat run in the specified direction. The run cycle includes 16 smooth animation frames.

  2. Turning Animation: Press the opposite direction key (e.g., right while moving left) to trigger Scratch Cat’s turning animation, allowing the character to change direction dynamically.

  3. Jumping: Press the spacebar or up arrow key to make Scratch Cat jump. The jump animation consists of 2 frames for liftoff and landing.

  4. Costume Variations: The game includes alternate costumes (e.g., without a backpack). Toggle between these versions using a designated key (likely “C” or a menu option, though specifics are not provided).

  5. Objective: Enjoy the fluid animations and experiment with movement. No explicit goal is mentioned, but the focus is on controlling Scratch Cat’s run, turn, and jump animations smoothly.

Inspiration

The creator was inspired by the updated Scratch Cat sprite and wanted to refresh their original walk cycle with this new design. The project evolved to include a full 16-frame run cycle, jumping animations, and even a version without the backpack, showcasing the creator’s dedication to detail and community sharing. The hope is to eventually expand this into a ‘Scratchnapped 2’ game, adding more excitement for fans.
