Input buffering is one of the highest-impact techniques you can add to make your game feel responsive and forgiving. In this quick Unity 6 tutorial, we build a clean, generic TimedInputBuffer T system that stores player intent for a short window (default 0.12s), then consume it when the game state allows - perfect for fixing those "I pressed jump but nothing happened" moments. We walk through the full implementation, including a practical jump example that works across Update and FixedUpdate, plus convenient wrappers for bool, int, float, and Vector2 inputs. Ideal for platformers, action games, or any project where precise timing matters.
