Found myself unsure why any of the wrong crystals would actually kill me as opposed to simply making me take on a different form.  Also unsure what leveling up actually did for me or the game.

I loved the graphics and specially how fluid the animations felt.

So, while shapeshifting mechanic is there, I didn't really use it (it mostly happened around the endgame, when there were so many diamonds that the critter just kept changing forms randomly). I think this needs balancing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Audiovisuals wise, the game is good, though I've noticed the music after a while stops playing; I'd rather expect it looped instead.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Solid game overall, but it doesn't stand out to me yet. ^^'"},{"author_name":"3rdChance","author_uid":"66008","time":"May 3, 2016 @ 8:01pm","epoch":1462305360,"text":"thanks for your comments guys."}],"images":["ld35\/66008-1c76b558dea48525f6d4d39f57a6050e.jpg","ld35\/66008-31db0cbd7d7f86a4ce4f1c212a9c0c20.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/retlawxx.github.io\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/mega.nz\/#!1ptSxSRK!ohXoPNpPeTywrKcMM8iF-Y7woXRFRp6C8Pc31L5mKWU","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"3900","g_author":"66008","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"3906","g_title":"Evolution","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"189","g_commentcount":"20","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\/66008-shot0-1461031361.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/66008-shot1-1461031041.gif-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"+ Added Web-Version!
