Game Templates

The "I want to start making something already" tool.

The "I want to start making something already" tool. Game Templates is a gallery of ready-to-run starter projects — platformers, top-down shooters, puzzles, classic arcade — that spin up a complete Phaser game in seconds.

You don't have to start from a blank page. Pick a base that's close to what you want, then make it yours.

Features

  • Curated starter templates. Each one is a small, complete, playable Phaser game, written by people who know what they're doing. No half-built scaffolds, no "TODO: implement actual gameplay" comments.
  • Browse by category. Action, puzzle, platformer, shooter, and more. Each card shows a preview, a description, and what makes that template a good starting point.
  • Search by name. If you know what you want, type it.
  • One-click spin-up. Pick a template, name your project, hit create. You're in the Code Editor a couple of seconds later with the full project ready to run.
  • Blank scene option. Want to start from nothing? There's a "start from scratch" tile too — you'll get the minimum scaffolding (Boot / Preloader / MainMenu / Game) without any opinions.
  • Reached from the Project Hub. Game Templates is launched from the Project Hub's "new project" flow, so the new project lands cleanly in your workspace.

What you walk away with

  • A new project in /projects/<your-game>/, fully scaffolded and immediately runnable.
  • A working game you can play in the sandbox right now — then start modifying.
  • The fastest possible path from "I have an idea" to "I have something on screen moving."

The first 10% of any game is the most demoralizing 10%. Game Templates skips it for you.
