Anima is an addon for Godot that allows you to create sequential and parallel animations with less code compared to Tween.
Creating sequential and parallel animations using Tween can be a bit tedious, and Anima allows you doing that with few lines of code and a simple syntax. It has built-in about 89 animations and 33 easings, with the ability to easily add your own. You can also add your own with a CSS inspired syntax.
