If we're talking about c# primarily and 2d consider Wave Engine and possibly Duality. Yes, Xenko (formerly Paradox) and Unity are known for their 3d cross platform chops but both have 2d abilities. Actually Wave Engine has 3d too (with physics in both cases), but I've seen it recommended most often as a more 2d focused, lighter on system resources, alternative to Unity. Unity is definitely the industry leader, but hasn't always been great for 2d, but they continue to add further 2d support, so I don't know where they are at on 2d now as I haven't seen recent reviews. They may have closed the gap in 2d buildability in the last year, but dunno. I do know every 2d game built on Unity is less likely to play on my aged iPad 2 -512mb of ram and Wave Engine based games play better in cases I've seen... Edit: Nez (atop monogame), Atomic Game Engine and Flatredball are all possibilities too, as well as any other engines with c# bindings/plugins. I currently think that flash engine is better than unity 2d for 2d games, but I don't feel like using them, maybe AGE or Flatredball, but I have to see what they have to offer By flash engine, do you mean action script based? |

I am not sure why, but for some reason box2d is more popular than 2d mode for unity Isn't box2d a physics engine added to other game engines..? It is a engine that can be mounted in almost any engine that supports plugins and it has good physics in it. |

BF basically still exists as a thing people know about because it is small enough to implement in a single blog post  |
