Lua Lander Night Edition

Game Description

This is a small 2D arcade-style lander game developed in Unity as a learning project.

The game was created by closely following a comprehensive YouTube tutorial by CodeMonkey. While the tutorial provided the core concept and assets, I spent significant time understanding each step of the development process, experimenting with the systems, and refining the gameplay to create a smoother and more engaging experience.

This project helped me strengthen my understanding of:

• Unity’s 2D workflow and camera systems

• C# scripting and gameplay logic

• Game state management and common development patterns

• Iterative gameplay polishing and testing

This is my first complete game project, and it represents an important milestone in my journey as an entry-level game developer.

Controls

• Up Thrust:
  W / SPACE / ↑ (Up Arrow)

• Move Left:
  A / ← (Left Arrow)

• Move Right:
  D / → (Right Arrow)

The objective is to carefully control thrust and movement to land safely while managing momentum.

Development Notes

• Engine: Unity

• Platform: Windows

• Status: Playable demo

• More updates and improvements are planned as I continue learning

Credits

• Tutorial & assets: CodeMonkey

• Game implementation and additional improvements: Janidu Dilshan
