summary
A playable HTML5 platformer named Rick's Big Day exists: built with Phaser, arcade physics, sprite sheets (a 6-frame sprite sheet for the cat), platforms, collision detection and score text. The demo shows walking, jumping, collectibles that add points and immovable objects that collide correctly; music is credited to Luke of Onomatogucci. Code snippets are inline and incremental, and the game runs in the browser as demonstrated.
