Platformer Design
Start with a platformer that already works and make design decisions in it. Choose how it should feel and tune it one setting at a time. Build a room with a real choice in it, and give each moment the right amount of feedback. Every lesson ends with something you play and measure.

Move & Jump
See how the game you just designed is built, one system at a time. Quest 1 of 9 in the 2D Platformer campaign.
The fastest path to a character that runs and jumps. You build the player scene from a CharacterBody2D and apply gravity. You run left and right with acceleration and friction, and jump off the ground. Then you swap between idle, run, jump and fall animations. By the end you have a platformer character on screen in one sitting.
