Yes that King, the ones who made Candy Crush. They made a game engine source available (open source with the exception that you can't create a competing game engine from it) with full 2D capabilities, tile map support, spine support, shaders, particle systems, UI editor, scene editor, Box 2D and Bullet for physics, hot-reloading, profiling & debugging tools, etc. It also has basic 3D support, although I wouldn't recommend it for anyone making a primarily 3D game. It's written in C++ and uses Lua as the scripting language, and it's easy enough to write native extensions for any platform's language of choice.
