A free, open-source 2D character controller for Unity platformer games written in C#. It provides smooth movement, jumping, crouching, animation events, and 2D physics handling.

Use cases

• build a 2d platformer character controller in unity
• add smooth movement and jumping to a unity 2d game
• implement crouching and animation events for a 2d player
• learn 2d movement programming in unity
• get a starting point for 2d player physics

When to choose

• you are building a 2D platformer in Unity and want a ready-made, easy-to-modify controller
• you are following Brackeys tutorials and want matching code
• you want a simple, permissive base to extend with your own movement mechanics

When to avoid

• you need a 3D character controller
• you use a game engine other than Unity
• you need guaranteed maintenance, updates, or official license terms
• you need advanced features like wall-jumping, ladders, or networking out of the box
