...with the caveat that once Roblox (the company) folds, all the games will be gone.
...and that since Roblox changes the code all the time, you have no idea whether your game will look the same in a year. Or even run.
So yes, while I understand what you mean by the spiritual successor.. Roblox takes everything that made Flash bad (i.e. dependence on a clunky binary that one day may not be supported), and makes it worse.
Source: worked in Roblox when a new shiny material pack was rolled out, which replaced existing materials in existing games, messing up the look of games where materials were used creatively.

It makes me wonder if Godot apps written today will work on the web 20 years from now.
