In this Unity tutorial we're going to look at how to add animations to our game to make things look a bit more interesting.

We’re going to split this into two parts.

In this first part, we’ll add some basic movement animations to the Player and the Enemies.

Then in the second part, we’ll add some animations for when the Player and the Enemies die.

We'll cover the creation of animation clips, and how to setup transitions between multiple animations.

This is the thirteenth video in our series showing how to make a full top down 2D shooter game in Unity.
