🛷 Want to add more depth to your 2D character movement? In this Unity 6 tutorial, we’ll build Crouch and Slide mechanics — letting your player duck under hazards or slide beneath low ceilings for smooth, responsive gameplay.
We’ll cover:
⬇️ Setting up a Crouch state that activates when pressing down
🛷 Creating a Slide state with momentum and timing
🎬 Wiring animations so crouching and sliding feel fluid
🧩 Prepping the codebase for an upcoming state machine refactor
By the end, your character will be able to stand, walk, run, jump, crouch, and slide — giving you a polished movement foundation before we move into cleaner, modular code architecture in the next video.
