Try making something like Cut The Rope and you'll encounter some problems. Remember that mobiles go around 500 MHz so processor is an issue. Unless you want to limit your game to the top 1GHz+ devices... It still goes in the “bip-bip, poof dead” extra simple 2D category.

If you want something extra-simple 2D stuff like bip-bip, poof, dead, you might be able to use html5 and wrap it. For anything more complicated, the device will spend more time interpreting the html than making the game work (I'm thinking about physics here). Maybe you should look at the big guys. They either write engines from scratch or use Unity/UDK. It depends on the game. If you want something extra-simple 2D stuff like bip-bip, poof, dead, you might be able to use html5 and wrap it.

I decided recently to switch all effort to HTML5. I do a lot of contract work for web based companies and HTML5 is becoming much more of a requirement. To cut a long story short I decided to see if I could take an old game of mine (and juuso's) and make it work in the HTML5 realm. I had some headaches with mobile platforms but I made it work!! This game was written back in 2004/2005 - it lends itself well to touch devices. I've used ImpactJS - took me about 2 days to get the core running properly. Anyway, no need for videos.. http://www.indiepath.com/public/geom_html5/index.html Hey, Tim here. I decided recently to switch all effort to HTML5.
