Talking about C#, Game development, HTML5, Javascript, Monetize, Phaser and Unity3D.
As usual, during the last hours of the year I write a small recap of the game series I published during this year.
This was a positive year, with 20 game series created from scratch or updated, not to mention the brand new Phaser 3 book HTML5 Cross Platform Game Development Using Phaser 3 which is having a great success.
I would like you to have a look at all the series I published but most of all to suggest me if there is something you would like to see explained during 2019.
1 – Ballz is a great mobile game in the “bricks breaking” genre, with an endless runner flavour built it in HTML5 using Phaser Arcade physics.
2 – Magick was a cute iOS platformer, unfortunately is not longer available on the stores but you can build it uin HTML5 using Phaser 3 and Arcade physics. The player walks and climbs on his own, and you can summon crates to help him climbing walls and avoid dangers.
3 – Sokoban is the king of tile based puzzle games, explained in a lot of languages, from AS3 to pure JavaScript, updated this year with a Phaser 3 and Panda 2 version controlled by swipes and featuring unlimited undos.
4 – Flappy Bird was initially released in 2013 and became an App Store must have in 2014. Featuring a simple and intutive game design, it’s an endless runner explained using Phaser 3.
5 – 2048 is a single-player sliding block puzzle game whose objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and eventually create a tile with the number 2048. Apart from the tutorial series, the making of this game is explained in detail in my book HTML5 Cross Platform Game Development Using Phaser 3.
6 – Jigsaw Puzzle is a classic HTML5 Jigsaw game, built with ZIM framework, an open source JavaScript Framework for the HTML Canvas.
7 – Knife Hit is a knife throwing game built only using trigonometry and tweens, with no physics engines at all. You can find the HTML5 versiojn powered by Phaser.
8 – Yeah Bunny is a full featured platform game including jump, double jump, wall jump, wall sliding, all controlled by a single tap. You next Super Mario Bros game should start from this prototype. Phaser 3 version also features a “stop” tile.
9 – Wheel of Fortune is not properly a game but a way to reward players, built using Phaser 3 featuring a lot of room for customization. Basically you can configure everything, from the number of slices to color, icon and width of each slice.
10 – SameGame is one of the most famous computer games. Developed in 1985, you can enjoy the HTML5 versions powered by Phaser 3 and Panda 2, as well as a pure JavaScript class with no dependencies to let you only worry about input and animations.
11 – Plus+Plus is a simple but fun match game available for iOS, and you can find a JavaScript version using only jQuery.
12 – Down the Mountain was a huge success started in 2015 and constantly updated in 2018 too, featuring object pooling and Bezier curves to simulate 3D jumps with no 3D engines. Powered by Phaser 3.
13 – Circular Endless Runner is an original concept developed botn with Phaser and Unity. Roll around a big circle and jump avoiding spikes in this physics game featuring no physics engines but only a bit of geometry.
14 – Don’t Touch the Spikes HTML5 prototype uses Phaser 3 and Matter physics to create a physics world, populate it with squares, circles and custom shapes, apply forces and check for collisions to recreate the original mobile blockbuster.
15 – 1+2=3 will your math skills. The famous HTML5 game has been updated to Phaser 3. Starting from this prototype I developed Matt Vs Math game you can play here, sponsored by SOFTGAMES.
16 – Color Jump wants you to jump and bounce on colored walls in this HTML5 prototype built with Phaser 3 and Matter physics, based on the famous iOS game.
17 – Endless Runner is… an endless runner. HTML5 prototype featuring animations, moving platforms and coins to collect. Run as far as you can.
18 – Perfect Square! is nother physics game without a physics engine built with Phaser only using tweens.
19 – Bejeweled is an ever-growing game series which has been updated with a Phaser 3 version of the game featuring a pure JavaScript class with no dependencies to let you only worry about input and animations.
20 – Block it HTML5 prototype allows you to see how a game can be built in less than 100 lines of code thanks to the power of Phaser 3 and Arcade physics. Don’t let the ball run off the perimeter.
