They assume a fairly powerful GPU. PushButton Engine targets lower-end systems running Flash, and has options for native ports that are designed to work on low-end hardware like the iPhone. Games built with PushButton Engine are pretty small, usually only a few megabytes. Of course, you can scale traditional engines down, and scale PushButton Engine up, but that’s where they’re aimed right now.
