This looks fun — reminds me of the Phaser.js era of browser games. I'm curious how Kaplay compares to engines like Phaser or Kaboom.js in terms of dev experience and performance. Anyone here tried building something production-level with Kaplay yet?

KAPLAY is the successor to Kaboom.js which was unfortunately abandoned.

As for Phaser VS KAPLAY:

Performance wise, Phaser is still better however there are perfs improvement coming to KAPLAY.

KAPLAY has an easier to use syntax for its API. Things are easier to do in KAPLAY VS Phaser while being less verbose. Phaser however, has more features considering it's more battle tested since it's been around for far longer.

I recommend joining the KAPLAY discord to see what others are building. I'm not aware of any famous games made in KAPLAY yet.
