When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This hands-on course guides learners through the complete process of building a 2D endless runner game inspired by Jetpack Joyride using the Unity game engine. Students will construct a playable character, develop responsive jetpack mechanics, and implement dynamic hazards and collectibles to create an engaging game loop.

Through modular lessons, learners will design animated environments, integrate visual effects, and configure interactive user interfaces and sound systems. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply parallax scrolling, generate game objects dynamically, and evaluate the flow of gameplay using core Unity features such as prefabs, physics, and scripting. Ideal for intermediate Unity users, this course emphasizes real-world practices in 2D game development through project-based learning.
