Unity Platformer Game Kit for 3D and 2.5D

Platformer Project - 3D & 2.5D Platformer Game Kit provides core mechanics for building 3D and 2.5D platform games, with a custom Kinematic Character Controller, dynamic camera, enemy AI, hazards, checkpoints, save/load, and mobile support. Its movement system covers abilities ranging from multiple jumps and wall movement to rail grinding, gliding, swimming, climbing, and ground or air dashing.

Core Platformer Systems

The project includes full 3D movement alongside 2.5D movement with Path Following support. Character movement can be combined with gravity fields for planetary traversal, slope-based speed changes, momentum-based physics, smooth character leaning, and physics for slopes and loop-de-loops. Jump handling includes a Coyote Time threshold and Jump Input Buffer for more forgiving and precise jumps.

Traversal abilities include wall sliding, wall jumping, wall running, ledge grabbing, ledge climbing, pole climbing, crouching, crawling, swimming, diving, gliding, heavy stomping, air diving, rail grinding, rolling, and ground or air dashing. Combat-oriented movement includes Spin Attack, Homing Dash Attack, Air Spin Attack, and Roll Charge Attack.

Level and Gameplay Features

Levels can use moving and falling platforms, springs, force fields, conveyor belts, portals, pushable objects, destroyable objects, item boxes, and several collectible types. The project also provides enemy AI, hazards, surface footsteps, and a checkpoint system. A life system handles level respawn and restart.

Save System and Compatibility

Save and load functionality supports Binary, JSON, and PlayerPrefs storage, with multiple save slots and persistence for stars, coins, and best times. Humanoid Rig support allows animations to be shared, while the 3D & 2.5D Dynamic Camera handles the project's camera system.

The project supports Built-in Render Pipeline, URP, and HDRP with Unity 6000.0.23f1 and Unity 2021.3.25f1. Supported packages include Cinemachine, New Input System, Post Processing, Shader Graph, and Splines. Mobile Support is also included.

Use Cases

• 3D platform games combining free movement, traversal abilities, physics-based slopes, and platforming obstacles.
• 2.5D platformers using Path Following movement and a dynamic camera.
• Platform games built around collectibles, checkpoints, lives, hazards, enemy AI, and persistent progress.
• Mobile platformer projects requiring the included movement and gameplay systems.
