## What is Cats are Liquid?

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?

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2026-06-08, version 1.6.17*

First of all, The kitty IS SOO CUTE I JUST WANNA SQUISH HER! Second of all, this game is simply beautiful, the story was so engaging I completed all the 3 packs in a single day! The mechanics are simple to understand and I like the plot twist that instead of gaining more abilities, we loose them one by one, and we can feel the kitty’s sadness when it happens (especially with the cube, I felt bad for her.) After this review im going to play the second part of this game; I recommend to anyone who is reading this review and has not played cats are liquid yet..to play it now! (in my opinion :D)

### 5/5 — some features I wish that could be added

*2026-04-13, version 1.6.16*

I really want both Cats are Liquid games to save data across devices because I had to replay all levels just to get to the end of the game so I really wish that the game will save across devices

### 5/5 — Mew

*2026-03-31, version 1.6.16*

Mew

### 4/5 — Too hard

*2026-03-04, version 1.6.15*

Why is world one so hard? I feel like it should be easier for beginners. I've played the ABP and it feels easier in world one. In this game, it feels really difficult..

### 5/5 — Poor cube

*2025-12-02, version 1.6.15*

My cube bro left me but great game

### 4/5 — Bug

*2025-12-02, version 1.6.15*

I don’t know if it is just me or do I just keep randomly stopping in mid air for a second making me lose a life/ die

### 5/5 — Dude I love this

*2025-09-24, version 1.6.15*

Platformers are not my favorite, but I really like this game! We also don’t get enough kinda scaryish games anymore so yea. I like cat. I’ve beaten ALitS and ABP and there both amazing. I also really like the music.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-06-29, version 1.6.15*

This is an amazing game, there’s cool mechanics, cute cats, and some lore.

### 5/5 — Most underrated game of the century

*2025-06-11, version 1.6.15*

This game is incredible! The mechanics are beautifully simple while still being challenging enough that it isn’t boring. The story is fantastic, and presented very well. It’s a difficult game that took me a fairly long time to complete, but it was so worth it! I’ve redownloaded and replayed this multiple times, and gotten most of the achievements. I still haven’t quite beaten the two to finish it without dying and without killing anything (in one run), because those are incredibly difficult, but not so much so that I hate the game. On the contrary, I love it so much that I keep coming back to try to get those last pesky achievements!

Not to mention, there are barely any ads! Literally, I only get ads after completing a world, and sometimes not even then. It’s absolutely wonderful to be able to play without getting bashed in the face every time I hit a checkpoint.

In summary, 10/10 game, everyone should play cats are liquid. It’s a crime against humanity that more people don’t know about it!

### 5/5 — Great game however...

*2025-05-09, version 1.6.15*

So this game is amazing!! I love it but there is some issues. First, mostly for the gray block, all the buttons are so close together that when I move sometimes I accidentally click the X button which spawns the stupid little grey block which messes up the game play therefore I die because of the stupid gray block. Second.. Jk there isn't a second it's a great game overall. But please fix this and make the buttons smaller :(
