Making games with JavaScript and Phaser.io
summary
Browser development lets gravity tunings and input fixes happen in seconds so iteration beats compilation and device copies every time. Phaser.io gives a ready preload create update structure, built-in physics, collision groups and example code so the menu input, bullets and score update are plumbing not homework. WebGL usage makes many sprites fast — often WebGL faster than 2D canvas — and small prototypes (a wedding-invite game, a quick color-asteroid demo) ship in hours.
