Tutorial projects
2D Platformer with Brackeys
Build a pixel-art platformer with movement, animated characters, coins, patrolling enemies, and a death-and-restart loop.
What you can build and learn
7 scenes · 5 GDScript scripts · one playable level
- Player movement
Move left and right, jump from the ground, and respond to gravity and collisions.
7:31 in the tutorial - Character animation
Switch between idle, run, and jump animations. Flip the sprite to face the movement direction.
52:56 in the tutorial - TileMap level
Build a pixel-art level from tiles, with terrain collisions, platforms, and obstacles.
16:57 in the tutorial - Following camera
Follow the player with a smoothed Camera2D and a lower view boundary. Configured in the game scene.
- One-way & moving platforms
Jump through platforms from below and land on top. An animated platform travels horizontally back and forth.
23:28 in the tutorial - Coin pickups
Animated coins trigger a score increase and pickup sound, then disappear and are removed from the scene.
28:20 in the tutorial - Patrolling slime
A slime moves sideways, turns when its rays detect an obstacle, and kills the player on contact.
41:58 in the tutorial - Death & level restart
Falling into a kill zone or touching the enemy triggers slow motion, then reloads the whole level.
34:20 in the tutorial - Hints & coin count
In-level labels explain jumping and show how many coins you collected. The count resets when the scene reloads.
1:02:35 in the tutorial - Music & pickup audio
An autoload plays background music. Coin pickups use a sound effect, with separate Music and SFX buses.
1:07:46 in the tutorial
A small platformer with a collection-and-restart loop. The slime does not chase or fight; there are no checkpoints, saved progress, or multi-level unlocks. “Great job!” is a placed label, not a victory system.
- Exporting a game
The video explains export. The linked repository supplies source, not a set of ready-made platform builds.

Checked against the official video chapters and this GitHub source revision on October 10, 2026. Source reviewed; not run locally in Godot. Original Brackeys work, not an MCP-generated game.
Before you open it
An original Brackeys tutorial, not an MCP-made example. Use a copy when adapting it to a newer engine.
The engine version comes from project metadata, not a minimum-version guarantee. Keep the original project intact and upgrade a copy if your chosen MCP needs a newer engine.
Read the original project documentationMake one change, then verify it
Start from a working project, review the change, and run the relevant scene. For an asset pack, import a small sample and check scale, materials, and licensing before building around the whole set.
