I have no idea if this is any good compared to existing game engines, but the limits imposed by its simplicity certainly tickle my creativity. If nothing else, it could be a great prototyping space.

One question: have you considered making it mobile friendly somehow? Given that all of the examples require arrow keys, it's a bit hard to demo on a phone.

It can only render a 24x24 grid of dots, of course it "sucks" compared to existing game engines..
I meant more in terms of architecture, extensibility, etc. I noticed it uses rather procedural updates -- maybe other game engines use more functional updates? I have no idea.
