Show interstitials only at natural pauses (after wins, restarts, level ends), never in the first seconds of a session. Make rewarded ads optional and reward-first. Cap frequency so revenue and retention both hold up, and follow platform placement rules for any automated ad breaks.
Phaser is a complete 2D game framework (physics, scenes, input, audio, asset loader) built on top of a renderer similar to PixiJS. PixiJS is just the rendering layer (WebGL/Canvas), fast and flexible, but you write your own game logic, physics and scene management on top of it.
Godot is a good fit when you want one project exporting to web (HTML5) plus desktop and mobile, mostly in GDScript, for 2D or moderate 3D games. If you need C# on web, use Godot 3, since Godot 4's web export does not support it.
GDevelop's editor and engine are open source under the MIT license, and GDevelop is free to use. There is no royalty or revenue-share requirement on games you build and sell, and the MIT license permits commercial use, modification and redistribution of the engine's source.
Defold compiles its native engine core to WebAssembly and packages your project as an HTML5 build, producing a relatively small, fast-loading web export. You build for the HTML5 target in the Defold editor, test in a browser, then publish to a game portal or through an SDK that adapts the build to multiple platforms.
Yes. Construct 3 lets you add JavaScript through its Script events/blocks or a full scripting mode alongside event sheets. GDevelop lets you drop JavaScript Code events into any event sheet. Neither engine requires it - both are usable with visual scripting alone.
Construct 3's free tier restricts how large a project can get (event sheet and layout limits) and how you export it; full web export and larger projects need a paid subscription. Check the current plan comparison on the Construct 3 site before committing to it for a real project.
Both are visual, no-code-first engines built around HTML5/web export, so either works for a beginner. Construct 3 leans on a polished event-sheet editor; GDevelop offers a similar event-based system and is open source. Pick based on whether you prefer Construct's editor feel or GDevelop's open licensing, then build, test in a browser, and publish.
No. Godot 4's HTML5 export template does not support the Mono/.NET build, so C# (Mono) projects cannot export to web. Use GDScript for a web-bound Godot project, or pick an engine/framework that supports C# in the browser if C# is required.
Avoid Unity for web games when fast load time, small download size, or simple 2D gameplay is the priority - browser-native frameworks or lighter engines compile to smaller, faster-loading builds. Use Unity when the game needs 3D, complex physics or shared code with mobile/desktop builds.
