HTML5 Suika Watermelon Game

Talking about Boom Dots game, Game development, HTML5, Javascript and Phaser.

More than two years ago I showed you the prototype of Boom Dots game made with Phaser. Several time – and Phaser updates – passed since that day so I am going to update the script to Phaser 2.9.1 and comment the source code which was uncommented at the time.
Click/tap anywhere on the stage to fire the small ball before it disappears to the bottom of the stage. Hit the big ball to score points and advance levels. If you have a mobile device, you can play the game directly from this link. And finally, the updated and commented source code:
// the game itself
var game;

// when the window loads...
window.onload = function() {

    // game creation
    game = new Phaser.Game(320, 480, Phaser.CANVAS);

    // adding "Play" state and execute it
    game.state.add("Play", play, true);
}

// "Play" state
var play = function(){}
play.prototype = {

    // when the state preloads
	preload:function(){

        // loading graphic assets
        game.load.image("player", "player.png");
        game.load.image("enemy", "enemy.png");
	},

    // once the state has been created
    create:function(){

        // maximizing the game
        game.scale.scaleMode = Phaser.ScaleManager.SHOW_ALL;
        game.scale.pageAlignHorizontally = true;
        game.scale.pageAlignVertically = true;

        // set the score to zero
        this.score = 0;

        // set top score to local storage saved score, if any, or zero.
        this.topScore = localStorage.getItem("topboomdots") == null ? 0 : localStorage.getItem("topboomdots");

        // adding a text object which will display the score
        this.scoreText = game.add.text(10, 10, "-", {
            font:"bold 16px Arial",
            fill: "#acacac"
		});

        // we'll call this method each time we need to update the score
        this.updateScore();

        // ladies and gentlemen, the enemy :)

        // set enemy registration point to its center

Have fun with the prototype, once you download the source code.
