It is a really good course but a lot of these things are already on his youtube channel so for what you get I personally think it costs a little bit more than it should (but idk I am really cheap)

It would be great if they'd explained on what the code does, myself knows pretty much what it does just for other who don't know any code. It would be confusing and they will just be copying and won't really learn, Good First Lecture though.

Content is great delivery could be improved. Giving a little more time for people to follow along in the coding would be nice.

This is a great crash course for beginners wanting a crash course in rapid prototyping using Unity. The instructor starts at a brisk pace and wastes little time getting into the creation process. The issue that I have is that this course is really high level and just touches on the features and techniques used throughout. This served as a mere introduction to subjects like coding or game art, but I would have liked to have spent a little more time on some of the subjects before moving on.

The Course was great, however, in the final classes, I don't think it was explained very well. There was also a lack of building a boss, and explaining the states. But the course is well worth it.

Noa Explains Verry Clearly As For Liam, He Is Amazing Too! I Have Taken Two Of Their Courses And Have Always Been Pleased! I Wish Them Both Luck On Their GameDev Journey

Brilliant teacher Noah and Liam are and this pairs great with their last course with new concepts and old in the mix, absolutely loving game design because of these two!

No tech support, sometimes the code does not work and when you put the question on the board, none answers, I noticed questions up for a year with no resolution, if you do this course, you are pretty much on your own if something goes wrong. The lessons are not well explained, you need to find somethings on your own and if it's your first time using Unity, you will be pretty lost, I am a professional C# programmer who is getting into gaming programing for the first time and even though I know the language very well, I am having difficulties understanding what is going on and hence, I am not able to fix the problems that arise from it and when I look for help, nobody answers... The game is cool, the characters are good art but if you intend to learn how to program your own game in this tutorial (this is why we bought it right?!), move on and find other courses that can teach you better in Udemy, there are literally hundreds of them... As for me, I will finish this one up and see where it takes me, I do have a problem that I can solve it so far but I will have to do it on my own apparently.

The course is for beginners. It's not includes important topics like boss fight, coyote time, jump buffer, enemies which is following etc.

I feel that learning to make a 2d platformer is a little easier than making a 3d on (for which I thank you!)

This course was awesome to learn. There wasn't much coding, but there were a lot of in between pauses to get the setting and coding right as the course seem to be a little bit of a rush, but that what the pause button is for. This is an improvement compare to another video course I've taken. I changed the rating from 3 to 5 because I forgot this course provided the assets. I usually like to start from scratch and learn from the beginning. So, the missing content like building the animation were already given as the video hence the skipping of certain step of showing us. Thanks Nao. For everyone, this was a simple short course, but will get you up and learning how to make a 2D Platformer game. There are some great techniques and methods in the teaching.

Lots to learn, the content was well-presented and easy to implement when it came to adding it to my own games.

Clear instructions and explanations, super easy to understand. The only thing annoying is that are some parts not covered by the course, so you need some Unity background to follow

I really like your Youtube channel and you guys aswell. The problem is that the everything is so fast and feels rushed i can't keep and or even have a second to stop and think without pausing the video constantly which makes it very hard to stay focused. I personally recommend trying out a speed closer to Rick Davidson but thats jsut my personal opinion i guess... Maybe i'm just to average and the course is actually great either way i hope you guys get better at making courses because i really do like your stuff.
