Arcade game with Bootstrap 5.3 and Phaser 3 from Cerewro
Combine the Phaser 3 game engine (the most popular for HTML5) with Bootstrap 5.3 to create an arcade game with a modern UI: responsive menu, real-time HUD, high score table and animated game over screen.
Why Phaser 3 + Bootstrap?
| Component | Role | Best of each |
|---|---|---|
| Phaser 3 | Game engine | Physics, sprites, animations, tilemaps, audio, cameras |
| Bootstrap 5.3 | UI outside the game | Main menu, modals, forms, ranking, responsive layout |

Phaser 3 + Bootstrap = best of both worlds: Use Phaser 3 for everything inside the canvas (physics, sprites, animations) and Bootstrap for all UI outside the canvas (menus, forms, modals, score tables). Never mix Bootstrap inside the canvas.
