Create a ground with Unity 2D objects using a square, add a rigidbody 2D to the player for gravity, and apply box collider 2D on both objects.
Create a player movement script in Unity using C#, expose move speed in the inspector, retrieve the Rigidbody2D with GetComponent, and apply horizontal input to velocity.
Set up and control animations in the animator panel by configuring idle, run, and jump states with transitions, a default state, and parameters such as move speed and ease grounded.
Implement a scoring system by collecting gems with a circle collider 2d trigger, using a gem sprite, coin tag, and a static total score to persist across levels.
Create a dynamic score UI on a canvas using Text Mesh Pro, anchor it to the top-right, add a score image, and update the score text with a string conversion.
Add multiple enemies in Unity by reusing the damage script, attaching a circle collider 2D with trigger, setting patrol points a and b, duplicating enemies, and organizing with empty objects.
Create the pause menu on the canvas with a large text header using Text Mesh Pro and two buttons for resume and main menu.
Create a multi-point platform in Unity by adding a moving platform, defining points A–C, and scripting motion with move towards and distance checks, wrapping to the start for endless motion.
Learn to build your 2D platformer in Unity for PC by configuring build settings, player settings, icons, resolution, and splash image, then archive all game assets to share and run.
