Scratch 3.0: How to Make a Platformer Game (Full Tutorial)

In this video, Scratch 3.0: How to Make a Platformer Game (Full Tutorial), I teach you how to make a complete platformer game with player movement and gravity, walking animations, wall collision, multiple levels, and player spawn and death states.

Know enough Scratch and want to move on to making REAL web games? Check out my course here!

The Platformer game that I created in this video:

I recently published a new mobile game, Flingy Fruit (available on iPhone and Android)! Check this video out if you want to see how I made the game:

I'm not trying to be those people who say thank you for a heart but, thank you for this it genuinely helped me, I tried to follow griffpatches tutorial on platformers and I couldn't really understand what was meant for what, this was simple and yet still keeps that platformer feel to it. This simplicity made me understand what was meant for what since I'm so young. I'm am genuinely thankful for this since I signed up for a coding tournament at school and this will help me with it

I've made a platformer in scratch used your tutorial to learn and then completely changed the platformer and now im starting to make it in unity. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me learn scratch

I feel like your not explaining it in the way I think you should. this doesn't mean its a bad tutorial. this is what lots of people are looking for. I just want to be able to apply what I learn to other things. I feel like this just teaches me a one dimensional view of it, like "these are the blocks that make a platformer" but I want to know what these blocks are doing by themselves. why were using them over other things. why these particular blocks when put together make a platformer. if I were to ask how to build a table I don't want to be told "take this block of wood and put it here then do it here, here, etc." I want to be told: "were putting this block here to lift the table off the ground, and this one here to reinforce it." so I can then use this knowledge to reinforce a shelf later. rather than only knowing how to build a table.

Tip: If you want spikes in your game go to the costume or level you want it in, rotate squares to look like diamonds, send them to the back of the costume halfway to make it look like triangles, and it’ll work perfectly.

IM GOING TO BE THE GREATEST GAME MAKER IN THE WORL- erhm, thank you.

[Felix-fhpv]

Thank you so much! Your tutorials are really helping me get into scratch programming, its also a lot of fun to add my own levels and lives to the games that i make

[murimimuchina]

Gonna download this, i will try this in the course of the week

[dhruvsday]

I am doing the tower defense tutorial and I love it! I love how you explain it and I want to be like you!

[explorewithrudransh]

I loved The tutorial, I made the game in a day!! I am Also Thinking of adding more levels and better upgrades to the game!!

[literallymatubb]

Thank you so much!! Not only was this kind of fun but his helped me gain a better understanding on how to use various blocks in Scratch. I've tried to follow other people's tutorials on how to make stuff but I never got what was for what. Genuinely I understood this and I'm only in year 7. Thank you again!!

I had some problems first but I looked back at the video and did the correct thing. Thank you Warfame, very cool.

[DummyUTG]

as a expert at scratch i can say that this tutorial is a 9 / 10 because you made VERY VERY VERY good design on your level

The hitbox thing gave me an idea to make a platformer where you have to grab objects with the edge of your hat. Thanks so much for this video and keep up the great work!

[TopazFlutist]

Thank you so much for this video! I've tried to find a tutorial on platformers that wasn't too complicated because it would just be lots and lots and lots of code (which would have absolutely no meaning to me), and it was quite likely to make a mistake so that your game won't work! I like how the code in your video is simple and easy to understand and digest, especially because my dad wants me to learn Python, and some aspects of that programming language and Scratch are similar. I am very grateful that I came across this video! Also, if possible, could you make a wall jumping video? Thanks so much! 😆

Congrats on 40k bro and Ty for these amazing tutorials <3

[alberodellapace]

Incredible! Many times I've looked at different tutorials for creating a platformer, the code is almost the same everywhere, but usually it is so large that it is very difficult to understand it. After all, it is important not only to copy it, but also to understand how it works. In this video, it has been simplified and condensed so much that even I could figure it out. Thank you for the video!

[weiyingchen]

A perfect tutorial. It helps me a lot!!!

[lux]

This is actually really good, all the videos I tried ALL SUCKED except for this one. This is the best explaining if ever heard.

Thanks, I learned a lot there. My character hangs a bit at the start, I have to hit jump to get him moving, if not, he runs in place.
