In this Unity 2D Platformer tutorial, we add moving platforms to our game — both horizontal and vertical — and solve the common problem of the player sliding off or being left behind while standing on them.
We’ll implement clean, physics-friendly movement, and show you the right way to make the player stick to the platform using parenting logic — no janky velocity hacks!
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Create horizontal and vertical moving platforms using Rigidbody2D
Control platform speed and movement between two points
Add optional wait time at ends for more natural behavior
Prevent the player from sliding or falling off the platform
Understand Unity’s parenting system and how it affects player movement
Clean, reusable code that works in any level or platformer project
This is one of the most essential mechanics in platformer design — and we’re doing it the right way so you don’t run into bugs or unpredictable behavior later on.
This video plugs seamlessly into our Unity 6 2D platformer series — and opens the door to even more advanced mechanics like falling platforms, elevators, or moving puzzles.
