An easy, light, native game engine running on JVM.

Why easy? A flappy bird game uses just 56 lines of Java code only. Written in Kotlin, also work on Java, JRuby, Groovy, Scala and other JVM languages.
Why light? The release build jar is about 1.6mb (with a 1mb Kotlin runtime) only.
Why native? This engine is completely platform-independent: no JNI linkage, no native methods.
