Graphics & 3D / Game Engines · OSS/MIT · 40.2k
What's Good
MIT (LICENSE.md). Phaser 4.2.1 Giedi. Scenes, Arcade + Matter physics, input, tilemaps, particles, cameras. Install the phaser package or pull jsDelivr. The framework stays OSS; named titles on phaser.io/games include Geometry Dash web demo and Stickforge.
The Catch
Phaser 4 replaced the v3 renderer/FX/mask stack — v3 games need the migration guide. Phaser Editor is a separate commercial desktop product, not the OSS engine. The homepage can Cloudflare-gate a raw fetch; docs and GitHub are the source of truth.
Verdict
Default 2D HTML5 game framework. MIT engine; Editor is paid and optional.
