• Movable, rotate, breakable and invisible platforms
  
• Switches and doors
  
• Bouncing pads
  
• Stompers

Project is created with:

• Unity 2022.3.20f1
  
• Playmaker 1.9.8.f1
  
• Some other Assets (See the attached description for more information, in work)
  

Setup:

After the archive has been unpacked, please open the project with Unity Version 2022. The project was created with Unity 2022.3.20f1.

Of course, the project does not include the Playmaker visual scripting solution. This can be obtained for a fee via the Unity Store.

Please install Playmaker via the PackageManager.

After Playmaker has been installed, the global variables are still missing.

Menu Playmaker / Editor Windows / Global Variables

Please insert the following variables:

 

LIFES (int)

POINTS (int)

START LEVEL (bool)

 

See also the enclosed screenshot.

Now all that remains is to save and restart the project. Everything should now work as desired.

Create own Levels:

The easiest way to create your own levels is to duplicate an existing level and adapt it to your own ideas. 

The project status:

The template is under development. Many features are in planning. Idea is to extend the project to create a Turrican clone.
