Summary

LÖVE (love2d) is simple, small, and fast. Lua was easy to work with, and the minigame ran smoothly. Writing the minigame went quickly because there were no cameras, maps, or game entities to think about. On the flip side, games that need maps, generalized collision detection, and sprite animations might take more work in LÖVE than in an integrated editor.
