Welcome to Issue 5 of Phaser World
Your weekly summary of new Phaser content.
This week was a strong one for games. The fantastic War Games: Space Dementia really took me back to the arcades of my youth with vibrant blasting action. And after that a few sedate rounds of Dr. Pol Vet Rescue were needed, followed by some multiplayer action in Tap Derby. It's always great to see what you make with Phaser!
