About

This is a 2D platformer prototype developed in Unity, built from the ground up as a solo project to experiment with and implement custom platforming mechanics.

Gameplay & Mechanics

• Start with basic actions like running, jumping, and crouching.

• Unlock powerful upgrades as you progress, including:

  • Tornado Spin

  • Dash Attack

  • Ground Slam

• Use these abilities to defeat a variety of enemies:

  • Snails – Move back and forth on the ground

  • Bees – Hover in air, moving horizontally and bobbing vertically

  • Piranha Plants – Stationary, attack at set intervals

• All enemies can be defeated by jumping on them.

• The player has three lives. Contact with enemies or spikes causes health loss.

• Collect carrots to restore health and open chests to earn stars.

• The camera system is built using Unity's Cinemachine package for smooth transitions.

Assets Used

Most assets were obtained from the Unity Asset Store. Some additional visuals were sourced online and edited with Photopea.
