Ask HN: I'm building one HTML5 game per week, need feedback

#1
Hello,

As a developer and a gamer I always wanted to make games, but I never actually did it. To change that I threw myself a public challenge: build a new game every week in html5 using Phaser (a javascript framework).

The games are quite simple for now, but that's because I'm still learning. Let me know if you have any feedback on the games or the website.

Thanks!

How did you decide on Phaser? Would you recommend it? How hard would you say it is to get started for someone with some JS experience and some pyGame experience?

I spent a lot of time trying multiple javascript 2D framework, and Phaser [0] was the best for my needs: it works well on all modern browser, it's simple, and powerful.

I never tried pyGame, so I don't know.

Based on pixi.js, should have good rendering performance.

Great, just the thing i was looking for!
