Do you make any revenue from it?Or just pure hobby?
It started as a pure hobby with no revenue. But now that my project is getting a lot of attention, I might start making iOS/Android apps, or maybe write ebooks about how to make games.

#12I love the way the tutorial is part of the background, seamless!
A colleague of mine made a similar type of game a while ago, this reminded me of that.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Engine: Phaser [0], a Javascript framework to make 2D games. Tools: Sublime Text and Photoshop mainly. [0]: www.phaser.io
how did you make the sprites and animate them? do you have a tutorial on this?
I simply use Photoshop. No real tutorial on this yet, but I plan to write one in the next few weeks.
In the meantime you can read about my process making the sprite for game #6 on my blog: http://blog.lessmilk.com/pixel-art-how-i-made-the-princess-i...

#14How experienced were you before you started? Have you coded before?
Any reason you're not open sourcing your code? Seems like it'd be a great idea considering you're still learning and could use some feedback from others.
Great job btw. Never heard of Phaser but now looking into it.

#15Thanks a lot for posting this as well as one of your posts I saw a few weeks ago.
Because of your website I tried making my own simple game with Phaser and found it to be very fun. For someone who'd never programmed a game before, it was interesting to see how everything comes together. Just a simple game was very fulfilling to me.
