Crafty JS
JavaScript Game Engine
Crafty is a JavaScript game engine focused on helping developers build structured, modular 2D HTML5 games that run smoothly in modern browsers. It uses an entity-component system that lets you compose game objects from reusable components instead of relying on inheritance, making game logic easier to organize and maintain. Crafty supports event binding for custom events, so objects can react to game actions, collisions, input, and timers in a clean, decoupled fashion, which helps scale complexity as your game grows. Developers can choose between Canvas or DOM rendering for flexibility in how game elements are drawn, and its lightweight footprint means it won’t slow down load times or performance in most browser environments. The engine is designed to be small and approachable, with enough built-in components for common tasks like movement, collisions, keyboard input, and animations, while still being flexible enough to let developers write their own systems when needed. -

nunuStudio
Web powered cross-platform 3D, WebXR game engine
nunuStudio is an open-source editor + game development environment — a “studio” rather than just a library — designed to let developers create interactive 2D and 3D content through a user-friendly interface. It provides visual tools for scene editing, asset management, materials, and possibly scripting, aiming to reduce the friction of hand-coding every aspect from scratch. As an accessible entrypoint to game or interactive content creation, nunuStudio is well-suited for artists, designers, or developers who prefer a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) workflow instead of fully coding everything. Because it is open source, users can inspect, modify, or extend the system as needed — adding custom behaviors, plugins, or export options. It’s ideal for rapid prototyping, small games or interactive demos, or educational purposes: you can build scenes, tweak visuals, test interactivity without deep diving into all low-level rendering details. -

TurboSphere
TurboSphere is an easy to learn and powerful JS based game engine.
TurboSphere is an intuitive and easy to learn game engine. It is generally modeled after the Sphere RPG engine for its API, although the API has been modernized. It uses JavaScript as its game logic language, and supports many common file types for resources. TurboSphere uses Google V8 for JavaScript execution and SDL for graphics, audio, input and most other game related functions. It includes a map engine intended for top-down, zelda like games. Other, script based map engines are possible, and several have been implemented for TurboSphere's predecessor, Sphere (like the Majestic Map Engine (http://spheredev.org/smforums/index.php?topic=4496.0)). TurboSphere is largely compatible with the Sphere RPG engine, the main API change is the replacement of object creating functions with proper JavaScript constructors. This means that there are several completed games already made that work with TurboSphere, requiring only a small set of compatibility scripts to function in TurboSphere.
