How to Make a 2D Platformer in Godot Game Engine

Create ground for your level with tile maps and tile sets in Godot, using 16 by 16 tiles and auto tiles with 2x2 and 3x3 bit masks.

Set up a player in Godot for a 2D platformer by creating a kinematic body 2D, adding a collision shape, and configuring an animated sprite with idol and jump animations.

master a 2d platformer jump by building a state machine with run, idle, and jump states, and connect an animation player to animate the sprite per state.

Add a follow camera in Godot by using a remote transform 2D on the player, linking camera as its target, and adjust smoothing, speed, and pixel snapping for smooth motion.

Create a two-point waypoint system for an angry pig enemy in Godot, using a kinematic body 2d, animated sprite, and separate idle and run animations.

Implement a jump attack in a 2D Godot platformer by adding a jump hurt box and hitbox, using area 2D, collision shapes, and signals to damage enemies and bounce.

Create a reusable enemy base in Godot by checking the jump hitbox owner, defining an enemy class, and implementing health and invulnerability logic to handle enemy hits and damage.

Create a shared health and get hit function in a character base class, letting player and enemies take damage and trigger a hit one shot animation that returns to idle.

Improve the Godot 2D platformer by smoothing the double jump to 0.35 seconds, duplicating the angry pig with updated waypoints, and refining collision shapes and hitboxes for reliable descent damage.

Enable one-way collision on terrain tiles and use a drop timer triggered by double-pressing down within 0.2 seconds to drop through platforms while staying on top in Godot.

Create a dynamic health UI in Godot by implementing a health bar with a texture rect, a kiwi indicator, and health updates via game manager signals.

Implement bee enemy behavior in a 2D Godot platformer by wiring idle, attack, and hit states with collision hitboxes, monitoring, and animation cues to launch a bee sting projectile.
