That's awesome to hear! And yes my "one game per week" challenge was in 2014.
This game was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird, but no I didn't think about that name before today.

Yes, I was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird for this game. I could have called it Flappy Pong I guess.

This is awesome to hear! I stopped making games for a few years to focus on other things, but now I'd like to get back to it.

That's a good point. I'll see what I can do about this, thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the comment! Yes first the paddle shrink, and then later the ball starts to speed up.

Hi HN!I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong.This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any...

Hi HN!
I'm the guy working on MilkyJS.
If people are interested in it, I'll try to fix the last few bugs and put it on GitHub. So I'm really interested in your feedback, especially: Would you use a framework like this? And do you see ways to improve the API?
Thanks :-)

Phaser is the perfect framework to get started making HTML5 2D games. I can't wait to look into this new release!
If you want to learn more about Phaser, you can check out my Flappy Bird tutorial here: http://blog.lessmilk.com/how-to-make-flappy-bird-in-html5-1/
I also wrote and self-published the first book about Phaser: https://www.discoverphaser.com/
Let me know if you have any questions! :-)

I wrote an ebook on how to make HTML5 games with the Phaser framework. It's been pretty successful, making me over $12,000 on launch day.

Jump first on the left, then from there jump on the right. And you'll discover the hole game!

Thanks, I love feedback! You make some interesting points.
About input lag, I'm a bit surprised. On my computer the input is super responsive. Maybe it depends on the OS/browser? I'll have to look into this.
Gravity could definitely be better. I'll look at Cave Story then.
I have only 5 short levels, so adding checkpoint will make the game too easy I think.

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, and I coded a few side projects.
And I'm considering going open source.
