Time for a change

Hey all, Ive been thinking for sometime I want to switch from Unity for 2d based games.

Ive used Unity for 2 LD’s and I used XNA prior to that and what I found was that while Unity is perfectly capable and in some cases awesome for 2d it feels like im fighting with the engine to craft my game.

Ive done a little research into 2d javascript game engines and decided this is the way I want to go.

Crafty, Melon and Impact pop up quite a lot and of course there’s Construct2 but I think I would prefer more code control. I would also prefer open source, some of the above being licensed.

I would love to here your recommendations for a 2d javascript game engine :)

Is it very important that the engine uses javascript?

I can recommend using something like FlashPunk or Flixel. You have to use ActionScript, but ActionScript is very similar to javascript.
