Improve your Platformer’s Jump (and Wall Jump) | Unity

How do you design a great platformer jump?
In this game design & unity tutorial, we'll talk about the tips and tricks you can use to improve your jump and unity 2D movement, such as coyote time, double jumps, and variable jump height. Furthermore, in this unity wall jump tutorial, we'll dive into platformer wall jumps, looking at what makes a fluid wall jump and how to design one.

Hey! Thanks for watching any future corrections to my platformer controller will be posted here.

[Rotaka]

It’s incredible the amount of techniques used to make a platformer fun to control, awesome video ! Adding the code examples was a great idea as well!

[curlus]

Quick and easy to grasp the ideas without getting bogged down with code. Great vid!

[joemorris]

This video series was super helpful in making my group project for school feel a 1000 times better! The logic for accel and deccel is genius, and making the gravity scale higher only when falling made a huge impact. Thanks!

[miserablepile]

This is crazy good. Very meticulously analyzed and applied, with expertly clear explanation!

[sathyanarayananviswanathan]

FINALLY, a masterpiece after decades. Keep going!!!! I love these

[Kalilak]

I appreciate your code comments so much thank you! They are so helpful! Awesome job on the code and the video!

[lizardltd]

The hades ost in the background is so fun lol
You made this video very well, it's clear and fun to watch!

[XionBrown]

This video was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

[earlyskid]

Well edited and paced, and informative. Good stuff Dawnosaur :)

i've watch the first video of the series, and it greatly helped me understand how physics in unity works (and that i don't need kinematics physics to achieve a great player movement) I wanted to point out that your analysis are great, you know what you are talking about. I want to give you kudos for the wall jump approach. every time i want to make a walljump in a game i fall in a great depression cause it is so frustrating to get it right... i always choose to disable horizontal movement when doing a wall jump, never thought of just tweaking the player horizontal input speed. thanks for sharing all of these. every tips you give gets me more motivation to actually finish my celeste rip off! it sounds stupid, but great and smooth controls comes with lots of easy and small tweaks, and you pointed out a lot of them in your series. Thanks again Dawnosaur! i should have sub way earlier. wish you success in all your project!

[JasonWelch]

Thanks! I didn't know about the cayote time thing. Got that taken care of in a few minutes.

[madlad]

I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this video for so long now, and it turned out amazing IMO!
I dunno if you remember, but on your last video, I commented on how the editing was a little too much and became a bit disorienting. With this video, you've definitely found a balance. I also like how you summarize everything near the end; normally I'm not a fan of repetition, but with a topic as complex as this, it can be good to get a high-level summary afterward.

[alicegiraud]

Wow this is an incredibly impressive and useful work! Just when I was about to abandon making a decent wall jump for my first game. Thanks a lot! Subbed and eager to watch all of your other videos, you really made my day! :)

[hyper]

really underrated content, glad i found this rare gem :)

[brutexx]

Thank you for these videos. You are awesome, man.

[turbo]

You do a great job at explaining things. If you could show some specifics of unity (such as showing the difference both visually and from the different cose value attached to it) think that will add more depth and understanding for the viewer.

Subbed. Keep up the good work 👍

[denn]

Yo this video is great!! There's so many good info

[puyEaterr]

I really appreciate the change in pacing since the last video was a little bit fast for me to grasp

[brucelee]

Man great video but I feel like half frustrated? Sometimes things are said with code snippets and sometimes without. Like give me all or nothing man
