Learn which approach fits tutorials, prototypes, and full-scale projects.

A solid foundation for any gameplay mechanics.


Beginner

๐ŸŽฃ 2D "Catcher" (1)

A simple foundation for a 2D game โ€” create it and catch falling objects.

Step by step, you'll add controls, reactions, and the basics of interaction.

Just the fundamental programming elements โ€” follow along and see it come to life.

Start small. Watch how it works. Then take it further.

๐ŸŽฃ 2D "Catcher" (2)

Keep building on your first project โ€” now add scores, sounds, and simple game rules.

Still perfectly clear for beginners. Step by step, no rush.

๐Ÿš€ 2D "Shooter"

Create your own little space battle โ€” steer your ship, fire lasers, and dodge incoming shots.

Add explosions, sounds, and action โ€” step by step, even if itโ€™s your first try.

A great next project after the Catcher: more movement, more thrill.


Beginner+

๐Ÿ€ 2D Platformer (1)

Create a tiny jumping game โ€” with ground, a player, and smooth animated movement.

Step by step, you'll bring this little world to life: jumps, landings, character motion.

No prior experience needed โ€” just follow along and see how it works.

๐Ÿ€ 2D Platformer (2)

Keep expanding your platformer. Add coins, moving platforms, simple enemies โ€” and a little cloud that quietly follows you.

Discover how to make the world respond: sounds, scoring, small events that give it meaning.

The world slowly grows bigger.

๐Ÿ’Ž 2D Match-3

Build a classic match-3 game โ€” place colorful gems, swap them around, and clear matching lines.

Step by step, you'll learn grid logic, refilling, and simple puzzle mechanics.

A great mini-project to see how these games work inside.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ 2D Tower Defense

Build your cityโ€™s defense: place towers on stands and stop incoming meteors.

Step by step, youโ€™ll learn how to spawn enemies, target them, shoot lasers and missiles, and place towers with mouse clicks.

A perfect mini-project for beginners โ€” simple logic, clear scripts, and fast results.

๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ 2D Point & Click

Create a classic point & click quest with scene inspection, items, and a logical chain of interactions.

Step by step, you will learn mouse input, interfaces, ScriptableObjects, inventory systems, and object interaction.

A great learning project: clean architecture, readable scripts, and clear logic without unnecessary complexity.


Extras

๐ŸŽต Mini SFX Generator

Create basic sounds right in your browser: laser, explosion, bell, chirp, and more.

6 presets + sliders for frequency, duration, and volume. Export to WAV.

Good luck with your projects โ€” make things and enjoy the process!
