About Phaser

Do you have what it takes to overcome the challenges of Vibrant Valley?

Phaser presents a unique take on the 2D-platformer formula by allowing you, the player, to take control of each level. By learning the power of color-switching, you will be able to phase in and out challenging obstacles from your path, find new and creative ways to victory, and avoid otherwise certain death.

In this world, you will face both tests of speed and cunning. Some levels demand a snappy reaction time while others require careful thought and consideration. Nothing is as simple as it may seem.

Continue striving to do better with achievements and trackable stats. Best time and lowest deaths are recorded for every level. Keep mastering each level for endless replayability.

Having trouble on a level? Enter practice mode and play any level for a more casual way to hone your skills.

Enjoy hours of unique and exciting platforming gameplay and see if you have the skill to be a phaser.

[h1]Before I played Phaser, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

It is a really deceptively hard game where you play as platformer trying to achieve red flag. My favorite thing about Phaser is that there decided the game needed a gun. Good luck finding it!

"Phaser" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. This is a very poorly made experimental puzzle platformer that relies on gimmicks like colour switching and phasing to negotiate platformer challenges. It was a complete failure on Steam, almost certainly because of the very weak technical implementation and low quality. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to game…

Игра Phaser - отличный выбор для тех, кто хочет окунуться в мир разработки 2D игр! Фреймворк на JavaScript, он предлагает простой и понятный API, что делает его доступным даже для новичков. Благодаря подробной документации и огромному сообществу, найти ответы на возникающие вопросы не составляет труда. Phaser предоставляет все необходимые инструменты: спрайты, анимации, физику, систему ввода, звук и многое другое. Особенно порадовала гибкая система тайловой карты, позволяющая создавать сложные и интересные уровни. Разработка становится увлекательным процессом, когда видишь, как твои идеи оживают на экране. Он идеально подходит для прототипирования и создания небольших игр, но может быть масштабирован и для более амбициозных проектов. Рекомендую всем, кто хочет попробовать свои силы в создании игр!
