Top-down movement in 2D

Hello everyone.

What I wanted was something similar to that of the classic Gauntlet game (1985). I looked and searched for tutorials and/or guides online, and came up with only a few that were unnecessary and not what I was looking for. Can anyone help me with this, or at least direct me? It’s basic movement (8-direction) that I am after, with collision.

Thank you so much! (in advance :D)

Have you looked at 2D tutorials in unity? That should give you a basic understanding of how to make a simple 2D game. Look here to see how to make a top-down game.

There are plenty of tutorials which literally give you code to get the camera to follow the player.

Movement wise, you would need to code it. To get an understanding of movement you should have a look at the translate. Just click here to get led to that scripting reference.

Collision, is already within unity and you wouldn’t need to code it. You can just add colliders onto your objects.

To be honest, i would say you should definitely have a look at the unity tutorials on the unity learn section rather than straight dive into making a game. Anywise you will run into lots of trouble making a simple game like this, which will then result in asking lots of questions. Hope i helped :slight_smile:
