Try making a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here so we can get a look at the issue.

A snapshot is a fantastic idea. Syntax is important, verify that you have mimicked the load/create function calls exactly as the video does. Also make sure you're saving the game.js file with the changes you've made for them to actually show.

If the source code was copied and updated incorrectly, the image won't load. For example, the following line will give you an error because 'coin' needs to be updated 'poison'.

game.load.spritesheet('coin', 'poison.png', 32, 32);
