Will this hype end soon, I don't know. But unlike trends like Defense Games, with physics you have more freedom. There are even successful racing games like Adrenaline Challenge (and it's hundreds spinoffs) that rely on box2d. So right now I am focusing on creating a good box2d generic editor component, that would save the world in a "String" format, so that I can edit/test it with the games logic directly from the .swf without having to rerun the swf.
