"The best 2D game engine for indie groups."
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

This engine is completely open source and has an amazing network. Different responses for unique human beings. It is the platform and you can, without problems, start your recreation and even your application for iOS, Android, Windows Phone. With Javascript links, you can literally create a flappy bird clone in 2 hours or much less, assuming you already have your audio and photo assets. Some well-known games like Badland, Hill Climb Racing, 2048 are products of cocos2d Obj C and its sibling cocos2dx c++. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

It is outstanding, except for helping with the native language on the left. It also has some issues with Windows Phone and I see a drop in the body price. But I guess it's enough. While the community is large, there is a lack of documentation for the API and the animation system is omitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A messy game framework for craeating 2d games"
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

Cocos2d is a cross platform game development frame.Cocos2d also includes it subparts Cocos2dx-js and cocos2d creator that makes game developer work less painful.The api is huge giving a list of features such as scene management,particle and animation effect.Layer system works well with the games.

Programmers can write code in C++ and there is a JS port too who are comfortable with it.

Being open source.Fixing bugs and peeking up into source code is easy to optimize the existing code.

The best thing about cocos2d is SDKbox.Adding external modules such as ad modules or social media modules are quite easy while correlating with your code.

A good quality game are written in cocos2d including charbuster Hill climb racing,castle clash and dragan city. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

Inefficient and incomplete documentation.Looking at the api and example.Finding a simple feature such a drawing a primitive segment is not included in the documentation which make the programmer work difficult.

There are loopholes within the game library itself which can be frustrating to users.

Everything in the core game variables are global which makes it hard to maintain.

cc.Something is the convention whole framework follows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Creat your own games"
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

I didn’t have experience with Cocos2D when I first use this program and I lacked any Apple hardware to follow along with the tutorials that you get online. Although this was my case, I was still able to learn and follow along thanks to their images of what the game would look like after given code examples. I now feel more confident with the fact that I can work in an Apple environment, and development full games utilizing Cocos2D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing for making games "
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

Cocos2D-X is connected to the engine in C ++. This makes it possible to create applications in C ++, and thereafter for IOS applications, Android or Windows Phone. Recent development had also allowed users to publish for HTML5 if they are using JS to code their games. it allows you to use a variety of programming languages ​​such as C ++, Lua, JavaScript and C #. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

There is nothing that I don't like about it. It's absolutely free and easy to use. But somehow I think more optimization can be done. I've used unity before but if you're a student and have no money then you should go for Cocos2d. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not very accessible, getting started was too obtuse "
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

The software itself seems inviting, used by a lot of developers. It seems robust and full featured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

I was never able to get much going with Cocos. The documentation was obtuse and difficult to get even an entry level application going. I attempted to multiple times and was turned off by the lack of resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mature framework that is good for prototyping"
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

Different solutions for different people. Find the tool that works best for you or is the most like your other workflows. Well tested with lots of high quality products make this a good bet for final products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

Many split up codebases and frameworks that make it confusing to get started and difficult to find good tutorials.

Documentation is lacking, and information on the internet is a scattershot compared to other engines. This makes it especially hard for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best 2D game engine for indie teams"
What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?

This engine is fully open-source and have a good community. It's cross platform and you can easily release your game ( and even your app) for iOS, Android, Windows phone. Working and learning the engine is straightforward and it took about one week. the quality of engine (renderer, physics, etc) is awesome and I experienced more than 5 commercial projects.

the cocos2d-x version is primly in c++ and It's so convenient to use. It also support scripting as well. recently It also added 3D feature which will make it more popular besides unity3d. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?

It's awesome except for supporting right-to-left language. It also have some problem in windows phone and I see frame rate drop. 3D feature is still young and it is not as powerful as unity. the animation system also is missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
