THE WEIGHT OF MODERN GAME FRAMEWORKS
Popular web game engines ship with extensive physics wrappers, scene graphs, and webgl shaders. While great for complex 3D titles, simple 2D arcade games suffer from huge bundle sizes exceeding 2MB to 5MB.
Vanilla JavaScript Canvas games load under 25KB total code, achieving sub-1.0s LCP performance, zero layout shifts, and 100/100 Lighthouse performance scores.
MAXIMUM CONTROL AND ZERO DEPENDENCY RISK
Hand-written JavaScript code ensures total control over event loops, memory management, and touch controls without relying on third-party npm package updates or breaking changes.
