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.

It's a nice, cheap, and fun little platformer. The controls here are super responsive, and make playing through a blast. However, I have one minor problem. The abilities feel like they slow down the gameplay, and 99% of their use is very lock and jey. I don't mind this for the gas (as it acts as a failsafe even outside its designated areas) or the square (with the timer adding intensity), but the bombs are the worst. They have no usage outside the places you need to use them, and when you use them, there is zero other gameplay except waiting. However, literally every other part of this game is immaculate. The cutsey cats, the simple graphics, the low price, and the fast movement. The movement here is actually slightly better than the sequel, because climbing is much faster and responsive.

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
