i am looking for a game engine, like the Unreal Engine, but something simplier. something with a level editor and stuff like that.

Well, Unreal is pretty powerful. It's unlikely that you will find something that gives you that level of fidelity with any simpler interface. I've used Unreal to do some work and it is not terribly difficult to work with.
Game engines are not trivial pieces of code - you may want to consider if what you are asking for exists.

Anyway, here is a list of game engines. Some seem to have an editor as well[i'm not sure how you would use them, since i have not used any of these myself].
PS: If you are interested mainly in 2D(sprite based games), may be you can try googling "2D sprite engines". That seemed to give some good results.
