A lightweight game engine for React Native providing components for building dynamic, interactive 2D scenes using a familiar update + draw game loop lifecycle. It supports both a simple GameLoop component and a component-entity-system architecture via its GameEngine component.

Use cases

• build 2d games in react native
• create interactive animated scenes on mobile
• run a game loop with react native components
• structure game logic with entity component systems
• make a mobile puzzle game with javascript
• add physics-based gameplay to a react native app

When to choose

• you are building a 2d or casual game with react native
• you want a lightweight engine that fits react native's component model
• you prefer javascript and entity-component-system patterns over heavy native engines

When to avoid

• you need high-performance 3d graphics or console-grade rendering
• you are building a web-only game (use react-game-engine instead)
• you need a fully maintained engine with frequent updates and large ecosystem
