The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders. Most updates within the last year have been small bug fixes, and momentum for big future features has stalled. Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.)
