I’m looking for some examples of high quality games with good graphics. I’m not talking about decent photographs (Lost City is great, but not animation intensive), I’m talking about good animations and things like that. I’m just not sure that corona compares well with unity even for 2d games.
Hi Jason.
You are welcome to check out this app (mine:)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/asteroids-invaders-vs-space/id590540185?ls=1&mt=8
It shows what you can do with Particle Candy (special effects)
Cheers.

This lists some of our customer’s more popular apps. Major Magnet highlights many of the SDK’s features (physics, animation, etc.) and Throne Wars really show off what a fully blown massive multi-player app can be like.
Throne Wars is not yet in the Hall of Fame (which we need to fix). But here is the link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/throne-wars/id586974383?mt=8
It’s a very impressive game.

Major Magnet looks pretty good, though I haven’t played it. Mandora is really pretty good, they have added a lot of extra stuff since it’s initial release. Hungry Oni, is pretty solid. Turbo Sprint Racing, looks good, I’m not a big fan of the game play. I’m just no good at it. Grooh is pretty good. Lost City is very nice.
I’m sure Unity is great, I haven’t used it, though I’ve seen more than a few great games made with it. As casual observation, Triple Town, which was created in Unity, and Brave Smart created in Corona, are very comparable. While these games don’t have massive amounts of animation, they are both both match three type games. Triple Town has better design. Brave smart has better game play/strategy. Triple tends to make my phone heat up. It seems to be processing more. I’m not sure what is happening here, but I feel like Unity has a lot processing overhead. For the amount of animation going on I feel my phone shouldn’t be working so hard.
If you’re asking about performance, I’d say that Corona handles 2d graphics pretty well. I don’t think Unity is going to give you better performance in the 2d realm, or at least nothing measurable. More important than the tools are what you make with them. I see the difference as graphite vs charcoal.
