AiCaterine Platformer

This is a fan game for AiCaterine, the magical time-traveling elf!

I was approached to make a small pixel art mockup of a platformer but that sounded kinda hard, so I made a platformer instead.  I may also have been looking for an excuse to learn Love2D.

This is my first foray into game development and I learned a LOT, mostly in hindsight, so expect a few bugs. This is also a little bit short to be a full-fledged game, so think of it as more of an interactive art piece.

To that end it has some features to help it fulfill its purpose. For example, on start the game will simply show a blank screen until a button or key is pressed, to allow someone to set up recording/streaming software before it begins. There are also some window/style options in game, which will be saved and applied automatically the next time the game starts.

That being said, it does have lots to offer, such as:

---

NPCs!

Mostly non-interactive, except for one or two, maybe?

---

Fireballs!

The most intricate of spells.

---

Blocks and Jumping!

Almost like a proper platformer!

---

Slimes!

The most colorful enemies.

---

ChocoMint!

What could heal better?
