    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    • As much as I love coding C and playing with computer graphics, if you actually want to get stuff done quickly and don't absolutely require using the C language or 3D rendering, I'm going to go against the grain here and recommend Löve2D. It's ideal for a time-limited project like this. It's popular with game jam participants. It's easy to pick up and learn, but powerful enough that commercial games have been developed with it, and it runs on all major platforms.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
