Hey, builder! πŸ‘‹

Phaser 4.3 is in the works and the agent is getting its next big update too. More on both very soon πŸ‘€

This week: three community games worth your time β€” a competitive card game with monthly tournaments, a frantic arcade platformer where music is your only weapon, and a tense one-vs-many tap game. Plus a video that finally shows what the Phaser Game Agent actually does, with cats!

Everything below πŸ‘‡

🎞️ Your game idea, built in 30 minutes ⬇️

Still not sure what the Phaser Game Agent actually does? Fair enough. We made a video that shows it properly… with cats! 😻

You describe a game. One sentence. The agent figures out the rest β€” code, art, music, the whole thing. Go make a coffee, watch something, come back in 30 minutes. It'll be in your inbox πŸ“©

No coding. No templates. Nothing recycled. And if you already live in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code, there's an MCP server for that too βœ…

πŸ”₯ Fresh From the Web This Week

Β» Celestial Decks: a competitive card game five years in the making

Celestial Decks is a competitive card game built with Phaser where no weapons are swung and no armies are commanded. The game centres on the Story: a hidden row of cards your opponent plays face down, so psychology matters as much as strategy. Learn it in under 10 minutes, but the skill ceiling is high. Nearly 1,000 players over five years of development, monthly tournaments, and a ranked season already live ♠️

The next tournament runs August 22 with a $250 prize pool and free entry. A 1.0 release with mobile support is planned for end of 2026 and the Steam page is open for wishlists. Free to play right now, no install needed πŸƒ

Β» Birdie Blues and the Jazz Cats: your only weapon is the music

One bird, a manic pianist hurling glowing notes from above, and two relentless cats closing in. Catch a falling note to arm yourself, throw it back to knock a cat out for five seconds, and run. You cannot kill them. You can only buy time. Land a throw on both cats within half a second and the screen explodes with a COMBO bonus. Miss, and you just wasted your only shot 🐦

Six stages looping forever, cats getting faster every lap, and a Tempo Timer keeping the pressure on. Built with Phaser 4, inspired by 1990s Saturday morning cartoons. Free in your browser, no install. How far can you get? 🎷

Β» Raven Leaf: you vs a murder of crows

Ravens are flying toward their dead trees and trying to slip through the hollow trunk. Click or tap to stop them before they get there. One point for you per raven killed, one point for them per raven that makes it through. Simple concept, harder than it looks 🌲

Three periods of 60 seconds each, and if it's tied after all three, sudden death: one raven, one tree, one chance. No second chances. Free in your browser, no install 🐦
