It was all really smooth and the transitions were quite nice. The filter was a bit too heavy, some sound effects would have been nice, and it's rather unforgiving, but it was still a really nice entry.

The game looks very unique and has a great feel to it. The transitions between the animal forms and the music are very smooth, and both the mechanics and the graphics are very fitting to the theme.\r\rStill, there are flaws. Well, two, and both are about controls. First, I'd really like if there were specific buttons for specific forms, since my brain really likes to connect A to "water being" and D to "air being", because the "earth being" is the default form.\rSecond, the controlling the water being is very counter-intuitive, being used to Space being jump, ie. "go up". Space for going down feels somehow wrong, on top of the already tricky controls. By tricky controls (which I actually kind of like with the "air being") I mean that it isn't very arcade-y. The creatures are very floaty and gravity is brutal. Which fits the look and feel of the game. Though, in the end, both of these issues are mostly just about getting used to it.\r\rYou'd think I'd already gotten somewhat used to it since I've played this game for 20 minutes. Which is more than I've played half of the Steam games I own.\r\rLove it, good work.

The mood, audio and VFX are flawless and pretty unique. It's also really engaging, the concept is simple but pretty interesting, theme-related and well executed. The game-balancing was pretty good too, didn't found it too easy or difficult and the overall flow makes the game not frustrating at all."}],"images":["ld35\/22132-c3eeaa82729c9510e456e3ba7ae24f59.jpg","ld35\/22132-b059abade866e7722cd096cf50d281bb.jpg","ld35\/22132-b24a0768d33305a14d3f3b0f6d9e4088.jpg","ld35\/22132-220bb788d025defa41d396bb43c1591c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0B53FgoEwVzoDblhLOTdZSUJlMjg","text":"Windows (Compo)"},{"url":"https:\/\/broxxar.itch.io\/lux-anima","text":"Itch.io (Post-Compo)"},{"url":"https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/Broxxar\/ld35","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4511","g_author":"22132","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"4607","g_title":"Lux Anima","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"75","g_commentcount":"36","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/22132-shot0-1460942792.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/22132-shot1-1460942792.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/22132-shot2-1460942792.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/22132-shot3-1460942792.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Play as amorphous creature that can shapeshift to adapt to its surroundings.
