Flame is an open-source 2D game engine built on top of Flutter, providing a game loop, component system, collision detection, effects, particles, and input handling. It runs on mobile, desktop, and web and includes bridge packages for audio, physics, Tiled maps, and more.

Use cases

• build a 2d mobile game with flutter
• make a cross-platform game from a single codebase
• create a browser game with dart
• add collision detection and sprites to a flutter game
• build a roguelike or rpg in flutter
• ship a casual game to ios and android

When to choose

• you already know Flutter/Dart and want to build 2D games
• you need one codebase targeting mobile, desktop, and web
• you want a batteries-included engine with game loop, collisions, particles, and input out of the box
• you prefer a community-driven, MIT-licensed engine

When to avoid

• you need 3D rendering or advanced console-grade features
• you require maximum raw performance outside Flutter's rendering model
• your team works in Unity, Godot, or another non-Dart ecosystem
