You might want to consider Haaf's Game Engine ( http://hge.relishgames.com ) which is now available for free, and can be used with BlitzMax, thanks to a (free) module I wrote. It creates very small EXE's compared to using Max2D, and everything is automagically pixel perfect. Unless you choose to make it otherwise. It also has texture compression, among other things, which I find very handy.
