In my 2D Platformer Crash Course for Unity 2022, I walk you through coding this demo from scratch using C#. This playable reference project is the end goal of the video series—a compact platformer with core mechanics ready to explore or expand. You can download the full project here with a purchase or by joining my Patreon. The code is yours to use freely in your own projects, whether personal or commercial. The art assets, sourced from other itch.io creators, come with their own licenses (linked below)—note that you’ll need to redownload them separately to respect their no-redistribution terms.
