In this Unity tutorial we will explore creation of the top down movement for a shooter game. The character will be looking at the mouse cursor and move using keyboard. Unity 2d tutorial.

You will learn:
1. How to get mouse position
2. How to convert it to world position
3. How to set character rotation using vector
4. How to use Rigidbody2D to implement simple movement

I hope to start a small unity top down shooter series if there will be enough interest :).

If you would like RPG movement instead (using keyboard):

If you are more interested in platformer than top down I got you covered:

Have a fantastic day,
love you and
Bye bye :)
