Welcome to Issue 18 of Phaser World

We released Phaser 2.4.5 on the 17th of February, and then (ahem) promptly released Phaser 2.4.6 the following day. Sadly a couple of bugs slipped through and we couldn't hold off fixing them. Aside from that blip we're very pleased with the end result!

This week we've a great hacking game called Mainframe. I confess I utterly suck at it, but love playing it all the same. There are some great new tutorials and even an interesting new Kickstarter. All in all, a busy week.

Until next issue, happy coding! And don't forget to drop me a line if you've got any news you'd like featured.
