Objective in the prototype

There are three levels to complete, and the main objective is to find and reach the 'flagpole'. In the first level, your sub-objective is to find 2 hidden abilities:

1. Wall Jump
2. Dash

Using these abilities, you can reach the 'flagpole'.

Purpose of this project?

I wanted to create a 2D character controller that was super customizable. I didn't really like the feel of Unity's built in rigidbody2D so I set out to create a home brewed solution. The idea is to eventually publish this as a unity package so other people can get a head start on their own 2D platformer!

Some more details about the game!

Borrowed the Sunnyland Fox character art asset here: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/sunny-land-103349

All other art assets were made by me using Aseprite! (Check it out https://www.aseprite.org/)

Movement inspired by Hallow Knight and Celeste.
