Welcome to Issue 12 of Phaser World

We're barely into the second week of 2016 and already the releases are coming in. QICI Engine hits 1.0.5 - it's an incredible Unity like set of tools for Phaser, well worth checking out. There's also a brilliant tutorial on making a turn-based RPG.

Fancy some blasting action? Try out Guardians of the Galaxy or the NES inspired Robotic Conflict.

Development of Lazer has been proceeding ahead at full steam. At the end of this issue you'll find links to the most recent Lazer development entries. Until next week, happy coding!
