I'm getting a refund, but it's really a great game. It's free on mobile, but the controls are horrible. Would recommend, but I need the Rain World Trading cards.

If you want to buy the game, be aware that it features a very sad story. Cats are Liquid - A Light in the Shadows is a platformer that does a lot more than what you would expect from a 1$/1€ game. The story is great and Lumi, the cat you play as, has many abilities that make this game a great experience for everyone, no matter how good you are at platformers. But this game has a huge problem of quantity over quality: the game has 9 worlds in the main campaign, each world has 10 levels, but they all use the same 10 elements, so after finishing the game you will probably only remember 5 levels. Despite these problems the game is still great for its price.

A fun little platformer with simple controls and easy to learn mechanics. 10/10

July 2024

Pros: some graphical options available, full screen & windowed mode, customizable key bindings, unlocked frame rate, has a tutorial, soundtrack fits the theme, has checkpoints, gradually introduces new puzzle mechanics, extras & unlocked modes Cons: Super Meat Boy vibes (lol), some checkpoints are sporadic (no quick save/load available), storytelling is hit-or-miss, world 6 room 6 is nearly impossible to complete (poorly designed speed-run level that requires multiple attempts), horrible ending of the story Overall, a cute indie puzzle cat game with creative mechanics, world 6 room 6 nearly ruined it for me, & it takes about 3 hours to complete. Cats are Liquid – A Light in the Shadows is hit or miss.

Jan. 2024

There's not much to say really, it's a very simple game with a solid mechanics topped with a nice story. If you ever want a simple platformer then I 100% recommend
