Fly2D

Hello! This is a short game I made while exploring the Unity engine's rigidbody physics. The game is sort of similar to flappy bird, but with the addition of end goals and side-scrolling level progression over 9 levels.  I hope you enjoy!

Controls:

Space - Thrust

A - Rotate left

D - Rotate right

I would like to reflect on the making of this project so that I may come back to this in the future. I had a lot of fun making this project! It came from a prototype I made a while ago while learning some of the basics of the Unity engine. Lately I've had some time to myself and so I decided to take another look at some of the older things I have made.

When I came by my old tests for the rigidbody physics system, I decided to dress it up a bit. Picked up an asset pack for tiles, added some more levels, added enemies and scripts for motion, etc. The circular enemy paths in level 6 seem to have a bug where their paths are much more constrained than I had made them in the editor. I'll take another look at it and see if I can have that patched out because it kind of makes the level too easy otherwise.  EDIT: This bug has been corrected!

The most engaging aspects of making this game for me were level design, environmental art, and UI design / programming. Although I am putting a lot of energy into learning to be a better programmer, I'd like to further refine my skills in these fields. I think perhaps I will try to make a game that makes extensive use of menus and UI interactions, such as a game that requires a lot of clicking and dragging, or some sort of text adventure.

If you play this game, you have my thanks! Please let me know if you encounter any bugs so that I can add them to my list of future tasks.
