In-depth manual for playing Lumini. =================================== Splitting your swarm: --------------------- You can split your swarm by either using the directional keys on your keyboard, or using the right analog stick on your controller. Your swarm will split into two evenly balanced groups which can be controlled seperatly to solve puzzles or battle enemies. Combatting enemies: --------------------- You can choose to either flee from/avoid enemies or to battle/kill them. Every enemy has a weakspot which you can hit with your swarm. If you do this correctly the enemy will die after a few hits. Breeding new Lumini: --------------------- In case that you lose Lumini during the game, either by creatures or spikes, you can breed new ones. To do so, you collect energy crystals from plants you find across the level. At certain spots you find big blue crystals, by exchanging your energy with these crystals you get new Lumini that will be added to your swarm. Differen types of Lumini: --------------------- Sometimes you get different Lumini types at the breeding crystals then the ones you start the game with. Which Lumini types you get depends on what actions you took on your way to the breeding spot. If you flee from enemies, the game gives you Blue Lumini. If you attacked and killed enemies. The game gives you Red Lumini. Swarm formations and active abilities: --------------------- Once you get different types of Lumini, you get the option to switch formations by pressing 'F' on your keyboard Or pressing your left trigger button on the controller. This rearranges the formation of your swarm. You can either put the Standard Lumini, The blue Lumini or the red Lumini in front of your swarm. Based on which type is on the front of your swarm, the swarm gains an active ability that you can use during the game. You can activate these abilities by pressing 'Spacebar' on the keyboard or the right trigger button on the controller. Standard Lumini don't have an active ability. Blue Lumini give you the Sprint ability which speeds up your swarm for a little while. This can be used to get yourself out of difficult situations. Red Lumini give you the Brace ability which gives you a red shield for a little while. During the time that the shield is up, your swarm is immune to damage done by enemies and deal extra damage to the enemies. This damage will also apply when hitting enemies on different spots then their weakspots. =================================== Have fun playing!
