WASM-4 would good engine for this. Assuming you don't also have to ship the runtime.

https://wasm4.org/

Games are at most 64kb.

    It seems they're including the runtime in the size, and have prohibited web based games for this reason (unless you can find a browser that fits in 1.44MB). Submissions must be a native executable (I'm assuming for x86)

    Well technically since it compiles to wasm you just need a wasm runtime and a rendering system. Not a whole browser. Some people have reported getting wasm-4 games running on microcontrollers.
