PhaserFire

Classic space shooter game made to teach the phaser.js game engine (legacy version).

Point with mouse to move, click/hold down to shoot. Or use arrow keys to move, space bar to shoot.

My main focus in this tutorial was adding “polish.” Notice how the ships appear to tilt as they bank from side to side. I also put a lot of effort into the exhaust from the ships, and I tried to make each ship type act in a unique way. I was especially proud of the boss ship and how it “hunts” you and charges its weapons before shooting.

Code is available if you are curious, working up from zero to polish commit by commit.
