Game Overview

Scratch Cat Runner is an exciting endless runner game where players control Scratch Cat or other unlockable characters like Pico, Gobo, and Nano. Dodge obstacles, collect coins to unlock new characters, and grab the 2x score boost to rack up points faster!

Compete for high scores on the leaderboard and enjoy vibrant, cartoon-style graphics with catchy background music.
