You know, this is one of the things that I think is really important in a game engine: Has a fully polished game ever shipped using the engine. It's easy, by comparison, to get to the 80% point with a game -- especially if you have a sample to start from that's somewhat close to what you want to create. What's hard is making every little bit work correctly; creating a finished product that doesn't have glitches, that works on all devices/in all browsers, and that has a good "feel" throughout. That last bit of polish, that last "20%", probably takes well over 80% of the time; I'd estimate it at about 95% of the time. And if you start with an "80%" engine that hasn't gone through that polish phase at least once, then you're doing all that work yourself. This isn't precisely what you asked: You asked for success stories. A casual browsing of the site doesn't find any published game lists, though. The creators of Phaser.io do have a list of games THEY'VE published with it: http://www.photonstorm.com/games Look at the "HTML5" options; they used to make games in Flash. I looked at Phaser a while back, and decided against using it. None of those games actually look much more complicated than a proof-of-concept, 80%-at-most demo. On the other hand, Cocos2d-X has been used in dozens of hit games, and they are up to v3.0 of Cocos2d-js, which looks awesome, has an amazing free toolchain you can use, works in a browser, AND can be embedded in a custom wrapper on mobile (something…

Mobile Safari now has WebGL enabled by default. How the hell isn't that bigger news?! Look eg here to get an idea of what it means for webapp: http://www.photonstorm.com/html5/a-first-look-at-what-ios8-means-for-p…

For those interested in a javascript/web audio api based mod player with a much more comprehensive list of formats, Flod may be of some interest to you http://www.photonstorm.com/flod

Multiple people on Twitter confirmed WebGL running on their devices with iOS 8 beta installed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ0aWbZjX6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX5hUdhI4Hs https://vine.co/v/MpXia7EmwAl https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/9hdhy0x8uk9d155/02uwwrlm.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/9hdhy0x8uk9d155/iwy2qcbx.png It does run both in Safari and WebView and it's pretty fast: http://blog.ludei.com/webgl-ios-8-safari-webview/ http://www.photonstorm.com/html5/a-first-look-at-what-ios8-means-for-p… It has very decent subset of features supported: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i80qxzap59i230n/2014-06-02%2023.43.34.png But apparently it's not yet fully stable. Also Dean Jackson from Apple's WebGL team tweeted, please direct eventual bug reports to him: https://twitter.com/grorgwork/status/473580744892112897
