Nice!

A couple of years ago, I tried something in that direction[1] using Phaser[2], and it was quite fun. I used Tiled Editor[3] to create the map and some pixel art that I purchased from itch.io.

Tiled is really great. I'm using it in a project that I occasionally poke at as well, only with Love2D, and as a sidescroller sort of project. I was impressed by how easy it was to set it up to work with my game in spite of how generic it is.

The functionality to export directly to lua source files was a particular treat, though there are probably situations where you'd want to still just use json or one of the other formats supported by Tiled even when working in a lua project.

Anyone trying to implement the Tiled API probably needs to reference this: https://eishiya.com/articles/tiled

It's a bit vague in some places (I'm still not exactly sure how parallax is supposed to be implemented) but absolutely worthwhile.
