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).
