Citrus Engine is a 2D game framework for ActionScript 3 that simplifies the development of physics-based games, especially platformers. Built on top of Starling and Box2D, it provides a component-based architecture and high-level abstractions for objects, input, levels, and camera control. It’s well-suited for educational games, side-scrollers, and mobile game development using Adobe AIR.

Alpha: - Still in heavy development, but should be stable enough for use in small projects. - Features include OpenGL ES based scene graph system, sound (static and streaming), input handlers, scheduler, async job queues, and much more. - Supported platforms include iOS, Android, OSX, Linux, Windows, HTML5 (Emscripten).

The Egret Engine is a HTML5 game engine. It provides modules to handle common game development tasks such as 2D and 3D rendering, GUI systems, and audio and resource management. The Egret engine is flexible and suitable for 2D or 3D projects. It allows developers to work without worrying about low-level browser implementation, HTML5 performance, or fragmentation issues. Egret projects are developed using TypeScript, which is a superset of JavaScript. Please refer to the TypeScript manual for more information. The Egret API and ActionScript3 (AS3) are very similar. It will be easy to get started with Egret if you are familiar with AS3. By default, the entry point for Egret game projects is src / Main.ts.

Eisai is a project to build a Visual Novel game engine and editor and to deploy a visual novel on those developed products. The engine will be licensed with the LGPLv3 and the editor will be covered by the GPLv3. All artwork, music and writing will be covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.

GamePlay (also known as Gameplay3D) is an open-source, cross-platform C++ game engine and framework that supports both 2D and 3D game development on desktop and mobile platforms. Designed to be lightweight yet powerful, it provides developers with robust tools for graphics rendering, scene management, audio, physics, input, and more, as well as templates and tools to help jumpstart projects. The framework emphasizes ease of use and portability, offering native support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android so developers can write their game once and deploy it across many platforms. With an Apache 2.0 license, developers have broad flexibility to use, modify, and distribute their projects commercially or personally. GamePlay also includes a well-documented API, tooling for asset processing, and examples that demonstrate how to use its systems effectively, making it approachable for both indie developers and experienced programmers.

JGame is a small multiplatform 2D game engine. It runs on the Java JRE 1.3+ platform, the J2ME (MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1) mobile platform, and the Android (2.1+) platform. It provides a very high-level framework for "classic" type arcade games.

MAP is a software that allows to create and play text adventures. Text adventure or "interactive fiction" is software simulating environments in which players use text commands to control characters and influence the environment. They were among the first computer games. MAP includes tools to create the adventure and a runner that allows to play it. Source is available and open so both the runner and tools can be modified to fit the needs or style for each adventure/creator.

MARGE is Mobile Augmented Reality Game Engine for iPhone, Android and Symbian Platforms. Currently developed for iPhone platform only. The MARGE developed by Mobile Interactive Media and Entertainment Group of NUS. www.mimelab.com

Nebula2D is a cross-platform 2D video game engine under development for PC, Linux, and Android OS. N2D's philosophy is develop once, deploy many. With the integration of Lua scripting language, developers will be able to write their game's code without the need to think about platform specific pitfalls. An intuitive front end world editor will enable designers to create their game's universe with an easy to use WYSIWYG interface.

OpenFL is a free and open-source, cross-platform software framework that empowers developers to create rich interactive applications and games using a single codebase that can run on web browsers, mobile devices, desktops, and even some consoles. It builds on the Haxe programming language and offers a familiar display list and event-driven API inspired by classic Adobe Flash and AIR, allowing developers to leverage well-known paradigms while targeting modern platforms. OpenFL supports 2D and limited 3D graphics rendering, audio playback, advanced user input (mouse, touch, keyboard, gamepads), rich text formatting, asset management, networking, and file system access, making it a comprehensive foundation for interactive experiences. Projects written with OpenFL can compile to native C++ executables, JavaScript/WebGL for web, or run through app runtimes like Electron without plugins, enabling high performance and broad reach.

The OpenRTSS project aims at producing a free game engine for making "Real-Time Strategy Shooters". The engine is written using Unity for simplicity and fast development.

A 3D game engine for android os. Main goal is to be as fully extensible as it can be while maintaining some level of speed.

SwiftGodot provides Swift language bindings for the Godot 4.2 game engine using the new GDExtension system (for 4.1 compatibility, use the 4.1 branch, preview for upcoming 4.3 release is in the 4.3 branch). SwiftGodot can be used to either build an extension that can be added to an existing Godot project, where your code is providing services to the game engine, or it can be used as an API with SwiftGodotKit which embeds Godot as an application that is driven directly from Swift. SwiftGodot allows developers to take new and existing Swift packages and use them as extensions for the Godot game engine.

d13 is a free browser game engine that allows you to build your own multiplayer online strategy game. suited for tick based empire building games that follow the 4X concept: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. Despite its oldschool look and feel, d13 comes as a fully OOP, MVC web-application that features a responsive design as well as great flexibility. You can easily add troops, buildings and technologies and create templates and skins for the project as well. Live Demo: http://www.critical-hit.biz/d13 Documentation: http://www.critical-hit.biz NOTE: This is a DEV release. The project is currently version RC0, it is NOT recommended to build a full fledged game based on it. Please wait until d13 reaches RC1 - this will mark the first, stable release ready for production.

macroquad is a lightweight, easy-to-use game library for the Rust programming language, offering developers a relatively simple and streamlined path to build games across platforms. The library is heavily inspired by simpler game frameworks (like raylib), but brings the ergonomic and safety features of Rust to 2D — and some minimal 3D — development. With Macroquad, you don’t need to worry about low-level graphics plumbing: it handles window and input management, rendering, UI, and more, letting you focus on game logic. A strength of Macroquad is its cross-platform reach: it supports desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS), web (via WebAssembly / HTML5), and mobile (Android, iOS) without requiring platform-specific code. Compilation is relatively fast with minimal dependencies, so small projects or prototypes can spin up quickly. Because it’s “batteries included” for common tasks (rendering, drawing shapes, text, basic UI, game loop), Macroquad works well for rapid prototyping.

Open Game Engine 2D is a full features and cross-platform 2D game engine. It aims to help developers to create 2D games with only flat files (such as ini and script files), so that games could be written once and played under any platform supported. This engine is a pure 2D game engine written in C/C++. It is base on SDL and AngelScript. So, it also aims to run in any platform supported by SDL and AngelScript, such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Symbian, NDS, PSP... But, in current version, the engine only supports the following platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS, Windows Mobile, Android, iPhone.
