Make a Match-Three Puzzle Game in Unity

via Udemy

Overview

Make a match-three game from scratch!

What you'll learn:
  • Make their own match-three puzzle game to be deployed on PC/Mac or their mobile device!
  • Create a tile-based 2D game in Unity

Note: though much of the course was recorded with an older version of Unity, the final project has been updated to use Unity 2019.

Though there are minor differences in the UI, you should be able to complete the course using Unity 2019.

We have created several advanced features to make this the most complete course on designing a Match-Three course in Unity:

  • re-skinning your game using your own Sprites

  • checking for the deadlock condition(no more available moves)

  • shufflingthe Board pieces (instead of deleting them and re-filling the Board)

  • building a one-, two-, or three-star score meter

  • creating new level objectives (scored, timed, and collected)

This course now weighs in at a 16+ hour marathon in game development. Save weeks of work on building your own match three game.
