Welcome to Issue 19 of Phaser World
We've 3 outstanding games this week. Pinball of Oz is just beautiful and a great use of the Phaser Box2D plugin! Vampyr is also a stellar effort by one dev to craft the game he's always wanted. Finally Crucial Pain is a visually lovely puzzler, and open source too.
I've been hanging out quite a bit on the Phaser Slack channel recently, so if you use slack, perhaps as part of your work, feel free to join in as well.
Until next issue, happy coding! And don't forget to drop me a line if you've got any news you'd like featured.

Lazer Development
After delving back into Phaser it was nice to return to development of Lazer this week. Updates have mostly been structural and internal, although I did find some time to have fun building some Special FX classes, including Starfields and SinusDots (press 1-9 to change wave form, and I to toggle sprites).
I also took the opportunity to upload the Lazer Test Suite online, so you can run the tests without checking out the whole repo.
As usual the code for all examples, and Lazer itself, can be found in the repos.
