mmm... I looked at games with PopCap, and they're all nice - but I am NOT interested in making puzzle games and the like... thanks though...

The PopCap frameword isn't just for puzzle games. It's a flexible 2D rendering system. They've made shooters and a breakout type game with it.

Puzzle games just happened to pay the bills for it's creation.

GarageGames has a few different engines. The one I linked you to is the Torque Game Builder which is their 2D engine.

For a Java specific 2D engine, I'd say go for GTGE (http://www.goldenstudios.or.id/products/GTGE/). Has plenty of tutorials/samples, and an active forum.

I've worked on a similar game on GTGE and it only took a day to do it, it's quite pleasant actually :)

I've already tried using GTGE and to tell you the truth I wasn't very happy with the guy's documentation and tutorials...

That's true... English is not his forte, but the library is simple enough to use.

On the other hand if I were to choose another 2D engine, I'd go the C++ path with either Allegro or Clanlib. These are well documented and supported as well.
