Unity 2D Beginner Course: Create a Full Game 🎮

Extended version (source code, more enemy types, art assets etc): https://www.udemy.com/course/unity-2d-creative-game-development-for-beginners/?referralCode=DCCB6AE546EC023EDD80

Create a complete 2D game in Unity, from start to finish. The biggest challenge for beginners is not knowing where to start, that's why I simplified all the concepts to make sure even newbie game developers can build and deploy a playable version of the game as a native WINDOWS APP as well as a playable WEB GAME!

Playable demo: https://codelaboratory.itch.io/space-quest

We will put a heavy focus on enhanced visuals, let me teach you animation tips and trick I use to make my games look better. Let's make games in Unity 6!

With so many enemies and projectiles flying around, we’ll focus on performance optimizations to make sure our game runs smoothly on all devices. We will learn how to implement object pooling and much more!
