A lot of the games you see on the mobile app store have been written in JavaScript.
However, it's not "solely" done in JavaScript as a lot of dependencies are pre-compiled C, C++ especially in Android.

Look into JavaScript Unity2D, I hear great things about it.

Instead of HTML? You should learn both. JS is not a replacement for HTML or vice-versa.

That's wrong. The only time they meet is in client side web development. :p

That's true, but what part of my post was wrong, exactly?
