Ellen Adventure

Ellen Adventure 🏃‍♀️:

• Genre: 2D Action-Platformer
• Engine: Unity
• Game Features 🎮
  • 🏃 Core Platforming Mechanics: Built with RigidBody2D, because precision movement and perfect jump controls don’t make themselves. Testing? Let’s just say I jumped more times than Mario on a caffeine rush. ☕🕹️
  • 🎵 Seamless Audio & Level Management: Used the Singleton pattern to handle audio and transitions like a pro (or at least like a pro who’s watched a lot of Unity tutorials). Now the gameplay sounds as polished as it looks! 🔊🎶
  • 🗺️ Level Design: Used Unity TileMaps to piece together levels, one tile at a time, because who doesn’t love pixel-perfect adjustments? 🎨👾
  • 🌟 Level Progression System: PlayerPrefs and Enums made level progression easy-peasy. 🔓🚀
  • 🎨 Rich Animations: Brought Ellen and the enemies to life using Animator. Every jump, every dodge—it’s all there… even if the jump animation occasionally looks like a small leap of faith. 🤸🎬
  • 🤖 Enemy AI Patrol: Added AI patrols using Physics2D RayCast, so enemies don’t just stand around waiting for a hero to save the day. They’re on the move, which is both fun and terrifying. ⚔️🤖
  • ❤️ Player Lives System: Three lives, heart-based UI… because I thought making it too easy just wouldn’t be fun! Surviving till that last heart? Definitely heart-stopping. 💖🛡️
  • 📋 Game UI: Built Lobby, Level Selection, Game Over, and Main Menu using Unity UI and TextMeshPro. Tried to make it look clean and simple, with only a few accidental clicks that throw you out of the game. 🙄📱
  • 🧲 Pickup Item System: Created pickups using Collider2D’s IsTrigger property. Now Ellen can grab things mid-run like she’s shopping on Black Friday. 🎉✨
• Key Learnings🧠
  • 🎮 Gained a solid foundation in RigidBody2D, TileMaps, and Physics2D (and a newfound respect for platformers in general).
  • 💡 Mastered the Singleton pattern for sanity’s sake, keeping my scripts from tripping over each other.
  • 🧩 Improved my C# skills to manage UI, animations, and player feedback in a (mostly) structured way.
