2D Game Unity

Jump for Your Life is a fast-paced 2D platformer I created using Unity Playground tools.

The player controls a small alien who must keep jumping across shrinking platforms while dodging falling asteroids. The goal is simple: survive as long as possible in the chaos.

The Concept

The idea was to design a game that feels tense and urgent. Platforms disappear quickly, asteroids crash from above, and timing is everything. I wanted players to feel that “panic fun” of barely making it to the next jump.


Development & Playtesting

I built the game inside Unity Playground, focusing first on the core mechanics: jump, dodge, survive.

During playtests, I noticed a few common challenges:

  • Players felt the ground was “slippery,” making it hard to stay on platforms.

  • The alien’s horizontal speed was too fast, which caused players to slide off.

  • Some testers forgot about the asteroids because they were so focused on not falling.

  • Others felt the buttons weren’t very responsive and wanted more variety in the level.

Even with the frustrations, people found the concept fun and interesting — just a bit too hard at first.
