Interesting, I'd never heard of Flixel before so looked it up and while it seems fairly basic with a few cool features I love the idea it's completely open source on github. I'll keep it in my to do list, thank you for sharing.

I've heard of Godot but never actually got round to using it myself and from what I can see it looks like a great engine, I'll be sure to check it out.

What do you like/dislike about Godot, why'd you choose it over other well known engines and what caused you to move away from HaxeFlixel?

Godot is also opensource; Honestly, the change from HaxeFlixel happened because Godot suited my needs better, after following a few tutorials it just felt easier to build the kind of small games I like to experiment with.
Setting up the environment was also a big plus since Godot is self-contained so no install needed.
