Companion

The companion is a playable character that appears in Cats Are Liquid: A Light In The Shadows in the main story, Cats Are Liquid: A Better Places, and the Companion level pack.

The companion square is a helper and could be considered the deuterantagonist of ALITS. Received in world 4 for A Light in the Shadows and world 8 in A Better Place. The companion helps Lumi get through the rooms. In both games the square is immune to orange, and is the only one who can press certain buttons to shut down orange "firewalls" that instantly kill Lumi and reset the room, or set her back to the last checkpoint. In the Companion pack, the square is instantly killed by purple walls that the player must avoid or use an ability to pass.

In the Companion pack, the square has three abilities - jump, boost, and phase, which are given to the player at the start of every world and replaced with the next at the end. The boost ability is the first ability granted, and helps the square move faster. The jump ability comes second, and lets the square jump. While the square is jumping, it cannot move. The phase ability is the last ability in the Companion Pack, and it allows the cube to phase out of existence temporarily, but cannot move while phasing.
