    Very fun and cute. A few of the levels are a little repetitive, but the game is well worth the 89 cents.

    So I paid about 0.89 eur for this. I expected broken and shite in the guise of cute. I got more than I bargained for. The game is a nice platformer. On a pacing scale from 1 (Super Mario) to 10 (Super Meat Boy), it's about a 6, nice and relaxing, and there's no real "lives" system, you have 3 hp, when you die, you respawn at the nearest checkpoint. Simple, pretty, cute, entertaining and 2 nice hours for 0.89 eur is cheap.

    As an owner of 4 cats, I can definitely confirm that cats are, in fact, liquids.

    This game is awesome. The levels may be frustrating at first but once you get hang of it, it becomes a very entertaining and fun game. There is also narraration text throughout the levels, making the overall theme of the game mysterious and cheerful :D Also, the soundtrack is amazing! Really sets the mood for the game. The game is well worth the $0.99 (or 0.89 on sale) paid for the game, and would recommend to everyone! One of the best cheap platformers I have played. EDIT: After playing through and finishing the main game, the ending is kinda dark :/

    Cats are Liquid is a very nice game. While it is somewhat short, it is difficult. The amount of emtion in it is unreal, however. I thought the backstory was very intriguing, and the Companion levels even more so. That cat will remain forever in my heart :,)

    This game feels like a spiritual spinoff of Thomas Was Alone with some Sound Shapes gameplay mixed in too. Its a fun game but i think it goes on too long with the repetitive-like messages "Will she ever find an exit??", "What is this place?", "Why is she put here" vibe. 6.5/10

    Great little cutesy, minimalistic-like puzzle platformer with a good sense of difficulty ramping and some fun gameplay concepts and mechanics. For the price tag, it's definitely recommendedable if you like the genre! Unless you're like me and easily get emotional, in which case you'll just sit around and feel empty for a bit while stuffing the game away in a corner after finishing it. Without spoiling too much, it's a story about a neglected cat, and it really hit me hard. Doesn't stop the gameplay being a good, fun use of a few hours, but [i]ouch[/i], that story.

    For a game about Cats turning into liquid this game is pretty complicated. Good Stuff: 1. Platformering is tight and easy to learn. 2. Intresting Story that leaves some mysterys and some stunning reveals. 3. A 2-3 hours of gameplay for a 1$ game. Bad Stuff: 1. The Companion levels try to explain the story while you have a timelimit that resets the level. 2. No level editor so after the game is finished there isn't much else to do except trying to get some of the more difficult achivements. 3. The first powerup in the game makes it VERY easy to skip parts of the level. [spoiler] However this ability is lost near the end of the game, so it's up to you whether it bothers you or not. [/spoiler] If you have a dollar and you're looking nice platformer you could do a lot worse.

    Cats are Liquid states the obvious. I know that no matter how much fencing I put up, or how careful I think I am when I open the door, sooner or later I will find my cat in the neighbors yard. The fact that cats are liquid is really the only rational explanation for this. Here though, we finally have proof that this is true. As you guide your cat through the levels of the game, you can clearly see the ability to become liquid, or even gaseous, is the primary way cats navigate through narrow areas or over wide gulfs. This educational documentary presents these facts in an entertaining format that is simple enough for children to understand, yet amusing enough for adults. The idea is made very plain. Navigate your cat to the exit of the level, while not touching anything orange. Wise use of the ability to transform into different states of matter allows travel in any direction, and skillful play is rewarded with, well, a cat that is still alive. That should be enough though, since we must watch over our cats, and not let them perish in a pit of lava. That's what we call bad cat parenting. At least it isn't terribly difficult to keep this cat safe. While the simple geometric graphics may remind you of some of the more brutal platformers out there, Cats are Liquid, at least as far as I've played, is a much calmer experience than games like LOVE, or VVVVVV. Think Thomas Was Alone, but with a cat, who really is alone. I mean, Thomas wasn't really alone all that long was he? Anyway, I find Cats are Liquid a casual platformer, something that you could easily play with your kids. If they get to cocky, give em Electronic Super Joy, that'll learn em.

    Very impressed by Cats are Liquid. Especially given its price. The game has 9 worlds each of 10 levels for the cat, and three worlds for the companion. As about 20 minutes a world the game will take 3-4 hours to complete. The good + Minimalist art style is elegantly done + Responsive controls + Each world changes the experience (new ability/mechanic) + Good variety of obstacles to navigate and interact with + Two distinct characters with very different play styles + Relaxing to play The not so good - I experienced the menu freezing after playing cat worlds and then trying to switch companion worlds but the developer is still releasing bug fixes so we can expect this to be addressed. Edit: + The developer already fixed the menu freeze.

    Complete honesty, I loved this game so much. If I could 100% it I would, I got through all of the maps. It was worth the money I paid for it. HOWEVER THERE IS NO WAY IN THE HELL SATAN HAS BUILT THAT I CAN RUN THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME WITHOUT DYING, SO NO I CAN NOT 100% THIS GAME. I highly reccomend this game. Hard as hell though, but fun, and if you die in a really difficult spot it spawns you back to the start of the map, so you will get very angry. also life lesson: Cats have boxes that you can throw at things to get through obstacles you dont want to deal with

    Shockingly good for the miniscule price. Yes it's another simple puzzle/platformer indie game with abstract graphics, but the controls are so tight, fast and comfortable it ends up being a very fun play that feels worth the pittance of money alone. Plus, you get one of those good ol' "what the heck is even happening this is so much deeper than I expected or asked for" indie stories -- that I'm generally a bit tired of but was so unexpected here and kept my interest just enough that I really can't fault it. Really solid little buy if you ask me.
