Phaser is a fast, free and fun open source HTML5 game framework. It uses [Pixi.js](https://github.com/GoodBoyDigital/pixi.js/) for WebGL and Canvas rendering across desktop and mobile web browsers. Games can be compiled to iOS and Android apps via 3rd party tools.

Happy New Year! Welcome to the first release of Phaser in 2015.

We're kicking off the year with the 2.2.2 release. This is mostly a maintenance release and fixes a few crucial issues such as tilemap rendering in Safari and physics performance. But a few small but super-useful features sneaked in too, my favourite being that the Loader now supports BLOB urls for audio files.

After the runaway success Phaser enjoyed in 2014 we're really excited to see what this year will bring. So we're starting out strong with the 2.2.2 release.

But a few small but super-useful features sneaked in too, my favourite being that the Loader now supports BLOB urls for audio files.

We're hard at work on Phaser 3. Development on the brand new renderer began in earnest last year and we're already seeing exceptional results from it. You can follow our development in the forum and public repo. Even though we're working on taking Phaser 3 into ES6 and the next generation of web browsers, we haven't stopped with the 2.x branch either.

If you take a peek at the [milestones](https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/milestones/2.3.0) you'll see we've got some great features about to merge into dev for the 2.3 release. Included is a refactoring of all the Game Object classes, a new parallel asset loader and more consistent Text style handling.
