This guide will walk you through setting up an empty Scene to start creating a new level with the Game Kit. This will walk you through some of the fundamentals used in this Kit to create gameplay. The Kit comes with a premade game, which contains examples of every part of the Kit in use if you get stuck for ideas. If you're already familiar with the Kit, and need some quick information, take a look at the reference guide and advanced topics this can also be found in the Documentation folder within the project.

The Explorer: 2D is a collection of mechanics, tools, systems and assets to hook up gameplay without writing any code. To show how these elements can be used we’ve also created a game example using these systems. If you need some quick information on components, take a look at the reference guide and advanced topics this can also be found in the Documentation folder within the project.

Immerse yourself in the world of game development with this comprehensive 2D Beginner Adventure Game project, designed to guide you through the fundamentals of creating an interactive experience. Follow along step by step to create your own 2D adventure game, with a choice of assets and options for customization along the way. Explore more 2D assets including 2D characters, textures, GUIs, and more on the Unity Asset Store .

Take advantage of this completely revamped course to learn how to design and build a 2D Roguelike Game. Throughout this course, you will organize and prioritize your tasks, go over complex programming concepts, and explore the use of pixel art in Unity. By the end of it, you'll have a fully functioning game that you can then build upon to make it your own!

In this course, you’ll build a 2D game in Unity — starting from a completely blank project with no assets provided, you’ll create the entire game from start to finish. In the game, you fly a simple triangle-shaped ship using mouse clicks (or screen taps on mobile). Your goal: stay alive for as long as you can by dodging flying obstacles while your score increases over time. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working in 2D, from navigating the Scene view to coding simple gameplay interactions. You’ll also explore key Unity systems like a user interface (UI), particle effects, audio, and publishing. By the end, you’ll not only have a complete, playable game, but you’ll also have the skills to start building your own original 2D projects.

The following sections consist of deeper information on the Game Kit systems and may require more Unity knowledge. Some topics require knowledge of C#.

The best way to use this document is like a reference guide, searching by component or setting you want to know more about. Use the navigation bars to find the section you need. To learn the basics of how to use the Game Kit, check the Walkthrough, which provides a good foundation on using the Kit. The Explorer example game included in this project uses all the components we provided for gameplay. To get inspiration or an example of how to use a GameObject, explore the scenes Zone 1 through 5 in the Scenes folder. Important terms and concepts are highlighted with links if you would like to find out more information about them.

This is a video version of the written 2D Game Kit Walkthrough. In this live session with guest host Aurore Dimopoulos, we will explore the 2D Game Kit project from Unity Technologies. 2D Game Kit is designed to allow new users to explore working in Unity and making games without first learning how to code in a friendly drag and drop environment. The kit consists of a vertical slice of a 2D platformer game complete with art, sound and interactive behavior to explore.

In this tutorial, you'll import 2D assets into Unity to create Sprites, both one at a time and from Sprite Sheets (Sprite Atlases) containing multiple assets that you will configure in the Sprite Editor.

The Explorer: 3D Game Kit. A collection of mechanics, tools, systems and assets to hook up gameplay without writing any code. If you liked the 2D Game Kit, we're now bringing you the three-dimensional world of Ellen and her mission to explore the unknown alien landscape where her dropship has crash landed.
