Starling is a fantastic multi-platform development framework for 2D games.

With Starling 1.6, the concept of a Sprite3D has been introduced, which gives Starling a lot of neat pseudo-3D features, without ever leaving the comfort of a 2D framework.

YCanvasMap is a great way to get a hardware accelerated map system onto your Starling platform. Check out this awesome Map Demo: YCanvasMap
