What kind of game should we create?

We could do an MMORPG

The key here is that we have to evaluate what we're using. Phaser is designed for 2D games, so we'll probably want to refrain from anything 3D. Also, with our smaller development team and limited experience, we'll probably want to stay small. Currently, I'd recommend we go with one of the following:

• 2D platformer
• Top-down shooter / bullet hell game (e.g. Asteroids or any of the Touhou games)
• Infinite runner / infinite jumper (e.g. Doodle Jump or Jetpack Joyride)
• "Infinite clicker" (e.g. Cookie Clicker)
• RPG (MMOs of any sort would be tricky because we'd have to write netcode and balance gameplay, which would be quite the undertaking)
• Some other incarnation of a 2D game.

The main point is: we're gonna want to stick to 2D, since that's what Phaser is built for. Just my $0.02.

We should do a platformer about a ninja because we are CoderDojo like with ninjas and stuff

If you all would like to look at / find some game assets for the kind of game we'd like to create, I've found a great site for free-to-use art assets: Open Game Art. We could use assets from here so that we could focus on the coding!
