Gato Run
Run across your keys.
An endless runner that plays on your Stream Deck itself. Put it on a row of keys and they become one screen: the cat runs, things slide in from the right, and you jump them. The keys are the screen and the controller at once.
The listing is reserved and this button turns into a link the moment Elgato publishes it.
One row, or two
On a single row, any key jumps. That is the whole game, and three keys are enough to play it. More keys give you more warning.
Give it two rows and the world gets taller. The top row jumps, the bottom row ducks for as long as you hold it, and things start flying in at head height. Duck in mid-air to come down sooner.
One picture across the keys
The run is a single drawing as wide as all your keys together, and each key shows its part of it. The cat leaves one key and lands on the next. However many keys you give it, the pace is set so you get the same time to react.
The Infobar: radar, or screen
On a Stream Deck Neo, the keys show what has arrived and the Infobar shows what is on its way: amber marks to jump, red marks to duck, sliding in before they reach the keys. Or the whole run plays on the Infobar itself, with a single key to jump, and the rest of your Neo stays free. Put Run on one or two keys and the Infobar takes over by itself.
Nine runners, ten things in the way
Run as the cat, a pixel dino, a deck bot, a microphone, a camera, a streamer, a gamepad, a rocket or a moon lander. Jump cacti if you are a purist, or a streamer's whole bad day: cold coffee, cable tangles, a DMCA block, the ban hammer, lag spikes, dropped frames, a stuck update, a low battery and a troll comment.
The small print of a small game
- It gets faster
- The pace climbs with the distance you have run, to nearly double. Three starting paces, from relaxed to fast.
- A demo when you are away
- Left alone, the cat runs by itself until it trips, then starts again. Its scores do not count, and any key takes over.
- Your best score
- Kept on your computer and shown on the keys. Beat it and the deck throws confetti.
- Free, and nothing else
- No account, no network, no ads, no purchases. The whole game is drawn and played by the plugin.
Requirements
- Stream Deck app
- 7.6 or newer
- Platforms

- Devices

What it doesn't do
No account, no sign-in, no network requests, no analytics, no ads. Your best score lives in Stream Deck's own settings on your computer.
Version
v1.0.0
First release. An endless runner across your keys: one row where any key jumps, or two rows where the top jumps and the bottom ducks. Nine runners, ten kinds of obstacle, three paces, a demo that plays while you don't, your best score kept, and on the Stream Deck Neo's Infobar either a radar of what is coming or the whole run, playable with a single key.
