First PowerPoint Game!

Elemental Butterfly
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Building this was a bit of a challenge, considering my PC is rocking PowerPoint 2010—which timestamps about how long it's been since I've used PowerPoint. As a student, I felt disengaged by PowerPoint lectures, so I avoided it as a software user. 

I had fun making a game in PowerPoint, though!—a great learning experience, which is the best I can ask of a game jam!

I think, if I were to make another PowerPoint game, I'd trial a newer version, just because it was difficult navigating online tutorials. For instance, I wanted to try macros, but many of the guides are for the more recent editions of PowerPoint, which also seems to sport easier user interfaces and more game-making-friendly features.
