The editors are basically immediately off limits for anyone who wants to mod the base game rapidly for their own enjoyment. A concept like http://sauerbraten.org/ is interesting, but seems to not have taken off for various reasons. Lesson learned I guess is that being able to customize is not everything.

Move or Die

I made one of the first big commercially successful games with with LÖVE (Move or Die - https://moveordiegame.com/). Highly enjoyed it. We had a devblog, doesn't exist anymore unfortunately. The thing I enjoyed the most was the flexibility of Lua, and the whole framework seemed to adopt that mindset. It gave you all the core pieces you need it (audio, input, physics, rendering), and then got out of your way. The drawback to the full flexibility is having to spend time thinking about what design & workflow your wanted (but, really, wasn't a drawback, that's what I wanted, just took more time). We ended up designing a really flexible engine that allowed us to pivot from a 2D puzzle platformer with a story (Concerned Joe) to the action packed fast multiplayer game that Move or Die became.

You might need to dig around a little for animated sprite sheets, but there are plenty of good quality free 2d assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets https://itch.io/game-assets/free https://opengameart.org/.

TIC-80

Main differences are: 16:9 aspect ratio, no cpu limits and many languages to tinker with: lua, js, squirrel, wren, janet, wasm, ... And just recently - a Python support was added. https://tic80.com.

Solar 2D

Solar2D[0] (formerly Corona SDK) is also based on Love2D. I got into programming via Corona SDK inspired by Bubble ball[1] made by a 14 y.o boy. [0]https://solar2d.com/ [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_Ball.

My friend runs it on the same model. The next step would be to try LÖVE's official interpreter [1] and see that it runs. That app & the docs are actually all you need to develop a full application right on your mobile phone. You could fetch Hexpress's source code and put it on the /sdcard/lovegame and the official LÖVE interpreter should run it fine, just with more latency. If you'd like to pursue this further, please reach out on GitHub issues.
