Which 2d Game Engine

[yolky]

I figured I should learn some game engine for android because drawing everything on canvases is pretty tedious and feels inefficient. It seems a lot of people are using unity. Which engine would you guys recommend for a beginner getting into simple 2d games?

Thanks for your time.

You say it. Unity is one of the userfriendly engines on the market. Especially for people learning 2d games development. The are also hundreds of tutorials for beginners.

I agree, that Unity is one of the best option for any game on any smartphone device.
And other option could be Cocos2d-x - it's C++ library. You can use it for Android, iOS, Window phone and others...

I use cocos2d-x, but it can be a hard way if you are not used to program in c++. This framework also has a Javascript "version" (bindings) that I think is easier to understand if you don't mind about performance issues
