Web Game Developer for Educational App

VocabKing is a vocabulary learning app that helps students build their English vocabulary through structured practice. We're adding a game-based learning layer to make practice more engaging, and we're looking for a part-time web (Phaser) developer to build it with us as an ongoing collaboration.

What you'll do
- Design and build educational mini-games in Phaser.js (TypeScript) that teach and reinforce vocabulary. If you know another framework and can learn Phaser fast, please apply too
- Own the game layer end-to-end: mechanics, UI, animation, asset integration, performance
- Integrate games with our backend via REST API for user progress, word lists, and analytics
- Ship in 2-week cycles, with one polished game module per month as a rough target

Who we're looking for
- 3-5 years professional JavaScript/TypeScript experience
- Shipped at least 2 substantial Phaser.js games (please share playable links)
- Strong 2D game fundamentals: game loops, sprite animation, tweening, collision, state machines
- Comfortable working independently, async, and managing your own time
- Good written English — daily updates will be in writing (Slack or similar), not video calls

Working style
- One 30-min video sync per week with me; rest is async
