Ask HN - Looking for a good 2d javascript game engine

5 points by davidchang 12y ago ↗ HN

I'm looking for a good 2d JavaScript game engine for a small side project (going for an 8 bit feel, exploration style). I've heard of ivank.js, two.js, pixi.js, joy.js, or am wondering if I should just go with three.js?

Any Suggestions?

Our studio has been using http://impactjs.com for the last year and mostly loving it.

Agree. Impactjs is excellent. The documentation is fantastic and its well laid out and while you pay for it its worth the money.

Be sure to check if its applicable to whatever you want to create though. You will get a massive boost if you are looking to write a side scroll-er as that style of game is very well supported in it.
