macroquad is queued for analysis. Crawling candidates and ranking them takes a few minutes. This page updates itself when the list exists — you can also come back later.
What is known so far comes from the other direction:
These projects were analysed and named macroquad among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how macroquad rates them is a separate judgement, made when macroquad is analysed in its own right.

A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming
calls macroquad “choose it for minimal Rust games with a simple immediate-mode API; Flax provides a full engine instead.”
Flax Engine – multi-platform 3D game engine
calls macroquad “Choose when you want a minimal, dependency-light Rust engine for small games; much less feature-complete than Bevy.”
A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
calls macroquad “Choose when you want an ultra-minimal Rust engine for simple games/prototypes without an editor.”
Open 3D Engine (O3DE) is an Apache 2.0-licensed multi-platform 3D engine that enables developers and content creators to build AAA games, cinema-quality 3D worlds, and high-fidelity simulations without any fees or commercial obligations.
calls macroquad “Choose for minimal Rust 2D/3D experiments without a full engine.”
3D and 2D game engine written in Rust
calls macroquad “choose for a minimal Rust game library with immediate-mode rendering, for small or prototype games.”
