    It was so good! Has anything really filled the gap? I guess some game engines are able to handle 2d but the simplicity of flash made it awesome

          HTML5 with canvas API is meant to fill the gap. And it’s really powerful. There are some 2D game engines using that tech and awesome games like tetr.io using it.

            Whenever I hear “this thing is powerful” my brain replaces it with “this thing has a really steep learning curve”. The reason flash was so popular is that it was easy to learn the basics.
