## The Hook

Heaps is the Haxe game engine behind Dead Cells when Phaser is JS and Godot is GDScript.

## What's Good

MIT. Haxe + HashLink with HTML5/WebGL targets. Proven on shipped titles (Dead Cells and friends). Cross-compile without a JS-only canvas story.

## The Catch

Haxe+HashLink HTML5/WebGL — not Phaser/Godot/Defold/Cute Framework/melonJS/Bevy. Different language/runtime bet. Distinct from Phaser, Godot, Defold, Cute Framework, melonJS, and Bevy.

## Verdict

MIT Haxe engine. HTML5/WebGL path; not a JS canvas framework.
