JS13kGames: a game jam under 13kB
https://straker.github.io/kontra/ Kontra is a lightweight JavaScript gaming micro-library specially optimized to be used for the js13kGame competition. Kontra aims to implement basic game components like asset loading, user inputs, loading loops, and sprites. This allows developers to spend less time worrying about smaller components and only focus on their personal game designs.

Cat Goric: Escape from the Warp Chamber - Post-Mortem

Cat Goric: Escape from the Warp Chamber - Post-Mortem
For rendering the texts in canvas, though, I haven't used the built-in text support from Kontra. Instead, I've used TinyFont, as it renders perfectly pixelated independently of the game scale.
