Learning Unity - my first attempt

Hi,
I'm in the process of learning Unity.
See my first attempt here, recreating some retro =>

Hey @oomjan, Not bad!

There is a few things that I think is needed to make it a bit more attractive

*Pause Menu - Especially when pressing the back button. Was a bit frustrating that nothing happened when pressing back to exit or pause the game

*Game feels a bit too slow. I think this can be fixed without adjusting the time it takes for them to land but by increasing the amount of animations and steps they have with falling because atm the steps are a little too long

*Special units - At the moment there is 3 paths the characters can fall and they are all predictable. I think adding something unpredictable will ad a bit more challenge to the game

thanks for the feedback @Zaphire.

Will definitely get that pause menu sorted out!

While I do agree with all of your points, the initial idea was just to recreate the classic game as close as possible, learning unity at the same time. Unfortunately google wouldn't allow the game with scans from the original hardware, so I decided to do a complete re-skin. You can see the original version here => omja.co.za

I'll probably shelve this game for now and try something more original...

Ahh ok cool then it makes perfect sense :)
