I played this on mobile back in high school. It sounds silly but it helped me deal with a difficult situation in my life. I'm delighted to find it and its sequel available on Steam. The game still makes me cry to this day. Once you get the hang of the mechanics its really fun to speed through the levels. If you're a fan of platformers and sad stories definitely give this game a go!

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.
