It's my favorite library for building small video games for fun. I recommend it to anyone who wants to build a 2D web game. It has good docs and the code is fairly simple to read and write.

Seeing updates for Phaser makes me so happy! It really is a gem of a library.

A nice thing about it too, is that it is very easy to make something that is compatible with both desktop web browsers and smartphones. When presenting at a game jam or hackathon, it's nice to be able to push what you've done onto GitHub pages and encourage your audience to try things themselves.

Phaser is the perfect framework to get started making HTML5 2D games. I can't wait to look into this new release!

If you want to learn more about Phaser, you can check out my Flappy Bird tutorial here: http://blog.lessmilk.com/how-to-make-flappy-bird-in-html5-1/

I also wrote and self-published the first book about Phaser: https://www.discoverphaser.com/

Let me know if you have any questions! :-)

The documentation of Phaser is the worst i've seen to a popular framework. The website is very bad in the design, styling as well as content.

Hm, I had a very different experience. The extensive example library makes the Phaser documentation excellent, in my opinion. The API docs are average, by no means terrible. I've used Phaser, Unity, or SDL for various projects and I've hit the documentation fairly hard for each, so I hope I might have some perspective on this.

This, this is the best JavaScript game framework. Been using it for a few years and it never let me down. It is constantly updated and has lots of examples to get you started.

I have just created a small game and exported it to an android .apk and easily runs at 60fps on Nexus 7 (2013) at 1920×1200 resolution.
