Development
At the time of making this game Unity did not have a tilemap editor for laying out the levels. After browsing the web I found an interesting tutorial. The solution I then came up with was a script that translates a png (containing a grid of colored blocks) to a level. I don’t recommend this way for doing a commercial project (layering objects on top of each other will be hard this way) but it was a useful learning experience.
