The following Phaser video tutorial is a free sample from The Complete Mobile Game Development Course – Learn by Making 15 Games where we build 15 mobile games using JavaScript and Phaser, and also cover how to export them to iOS, Android and Amazon.
This tutorial explains how to use a State to create a loading screen with progress bar for your game.:
