Cardinal Quest II has been released on iTunes, which has been created with OpenFL and HaxeFlixel. Its also been Steam Greenlit.

Reach3dx, a new game engine based on OpenFL, shown at GDC and created by Gamebase, has a dedicated website giving an overview of its features. At the bottom of the page is a link to a slideshow of Reach3dx, showcasing its abilities cross-platform. They use the Bullet physics engine and support Lua and Javascript as their scripting languages. Pricing will be available in April, with the HTML5 version apparently going to be free.

Gamebase tools have been used by Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda Studio, Disney and more which shows how mature Haxe and OpenFL are to them.

Grapefrukt has linked to his fork of Lucas Pope's SteamWrap OpenFL native extension for the Steam API. Theres also a quick example on how to use it. Im surprised the OpenFL team don't have an official extension yet.
