If you are trying to run the game locally without workspaces you need a server running. Try MAMP or WaMP if you use windows. It's a good place to start if you're new. Open mamp. In the mamp preferences go to the web server tab and set document root to the project on your local machine. Hit OK then start server then open webstart page. A browser window will open. Click the link that says My Website. It should open the game.

This is the correct answer in this case, as Phaser loads asses via XMLHttpRequest (which I didn't realize when I posted my now-deleted answer). I have my own thoughts about things based on PHP, but that's a different topic :P. However, it should be noted that in cases that don't need to talk to a server (which is the majority), you don't need a server of any kind, and you can directly open the HTML file in your browser
