About this game

Cats are Liquid - A Light in the Shadows is a minimalist 2D platformer about a liquid cat, locked in a world she doesn't quite understand, trying to get out.

The core of your movement is simple: move, jump, and climb, with your ability to turn into liquid allowing you to squeeze through tight spaces and dash across the rooms at high speeds.

As you play, you'll discover abilities which let you interact with the world in new ways. Break down walls and float high above the obstacles, all while mastering the skill of moving like a liquid cat.

The further you progress, the closer you'll be to discovering the true purpose of these rooms. Will you ever get out?

This was a really great game! The story,( j is really amazing! The gameplay and the music were all great! The gameplay although hard was manageble :) There's also a prequel called Cats Are Liquid A Better Place I highly reccomend too. Spoilers: The story is dark and deals with some really deppressing themes like loneliness and deppression. It is also hard to understand at first but once you play the prequel, You will understand it and it all line up in replays :))

Haven't played anything beyond the main 9 worlds, but I can say this is a great game! I only have two notable complaints, the story starts a bit slow and the blocks that follow you around can be a bit annoying, especially in later levels. Ignoring the slow start, the story is beautiful and the game plays quite well, I feel like this has some decent speed run potential as well.

Very fun game. Although it can be completed in a couple days. SPOILER ALERT Why does this type of game ALWAYS have to take a dark twist. When you complete the "standard" storyline you unlock 2 more level packs: "the companion" and "the reset". In the reset there's dialogue while ur playing and at some point they go like "you could've chosen to stay home, that way u would still be alive" meaning ur dead
