Rust alternative for PyGame ?
Another simple 2d framework that targeted wasm and desktop was https://github.com/ryanisaacg/quicksilver but unfortunately it was abandoned :( and never had android support.

I want to learn Rust by creating game running in the web browser. Which SDK do you recommend?
quicksilver, though not really being developed anymore is still pretty good.

Paddlers (Rust Browser Game) 0.2.1 Feature Overview
Thanks! I'm currently not using an engine, it's all done "from scratch". None of the available engines quite had the WASM support I wanted. I started with Quicksilver but it was not flexible enough and it is no longer actively developed.

Good basic rendering & input library
quicksilver is a simple framework you can use. Sadly the main developer stopped working on it (PR's are still accepted though) but it is still pretty solid. It also has WASM as first class support and thus makes sure that its api is a good fit for the limitations that browsers put on code. (So, loading assets is async, your main loop is done using async, etc).

I made a list of graphics crates a while back: https://github.com/ocboogie/rust-graphics-crates

List of Modern Up-To-Date Graphics Crates
If you just want a simple framebuffer, there's a simple section that has what you need. However if minifb is working for you, then it works for you. The reason minifb isn't on the list is because I tried to have the list be mostly rust-centric crates (e.g. isn't just a binding for a C/C++ lib). I made an exception for sdl2, because it is actively maintained and is more than just a binding.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing quicksilver and rust-graphics-crates you can also consider the following projects:

macroquad - Cross-platform game engine in Rust.
pixel_engine - A reproduction of the oldPixelGameEngine(by OneLoneCoder) written in rust
ggez - Rust library to create a Good Game Easily
pixels - A tiny hardware-accelerated pixel frame buffer. 🦀
eat-apples-quick
miniquad - Cross platform rendering in Rust
bevy - A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
good-web-game - An alternative ggez implementation on top of miniquad.
