Kiwi.js

What do you like best?

It's javascript so is an easy (or I should say familiar) language, so the on boarding process is pretty straightforward and you will be able to understand the game development principles quickly.

What do you dislike?

I think is an abandoned project right now. I just check the last commit in their project and is from 2015 and it seems that there has been some people trying to use us it in their projects but most likely is abandoned. I would recommend using Phaser js instead of Kiwi js, mostly because they have been updating it for quite a lot time right now, have a better support in the forums, stack overflow, etc and have more examples in their repository.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Use Phaser as I said in what I dislike about this product

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I teach in a university and in my work Javascript and a easy way to do it is using this kind of tools. Right now I'm using a different tools since the project is most likely dead. But if you are interested in learning the basics of game development it can be useful for you.
