KAPLAY
MIT successor to Kaboom for playground-first 2D games
Graphics & 3D / Game Engines · OSS/MIT · 1.8k
What's Good
MIT. JS/TS 2D, component add() API, KAPLAYGROUND at play.kaplayjs.com. Site: open source, free and always will be. v3001 is the Kaboom-compatible line; v4000 is the future. Docs include a first-party Colyseus multiplayer guide.
The Catch
Two lines: stable v3001 vs v4000 still alpha. Official host is kaplayjs.com, not kaboomjs.com. Named homepage titles are testimonials, not a studio showcase.
Verdict
The living Kaboom successor. MIT, playground-first, not Phaser.
