"True to actionscript engine for the new generation"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Starling Framework?

If you were comfortable working with flash and actionscript 3, starling framework is an amazing way to bring your skillset in to the modern era.

Cross platform support is great and lets you bring your ideas to multiple platforms with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Starling Framework?

Direction seems a bit unknown with a lot of lackluster side projects to accompany this engine.

A mash of different technologies, when issues arise you are often on your own and having to deal with multiple codebases that are scattered around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Starling Framework:

If you are quickly trying to escape flash, this is a great solution, but be ready for dealing with hard to place problems if you're trying to do very complex things. A lot of the integrated features are nice, but it feels like a lot of the tools to make things better are necessary but costly.

Their UI solution (Feathers) is also lackluster and looks and feels outdated. I do not recommend this for making a UI driven project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Starling Framework solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick game prototyping and bringing existing skills to modern solutions. I love that the years I spent with flash and actionscript will not go to a complete waste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
