Unity Game Development: Build and Design Pipe Runner

About this course

Build a complete Pipe Runner game in Unity while developing practical game design and programming skills through a hands-on, project-based learning experience. In this course, you will learn how to construct procedural 3D pipe environments, generate smooth mesh structures, implement responsive player movement, and create engaging gameplay mechanics that bring an endless runner to life. As you progress, you will design traversal and steering systems, develop obstacle-based challenges, and refine gameplay through debugging and procedural generation techniques. You will also create interactive game features by implementing death mechanics, camera transformations, and a polished user interface with a heads-up display (HUD) and score tracking. Each module builds toward a fully functional game, helping you understand how individual systems work together to create an engaging player experience. Designed for beginners building a strong Unity foundation as well as intermediate developers exploring procedural game design, this course emphasizes learning by building. Rather than focusing only on programming or visual design, it integrates procedural environment creation, gameplay mechanics, and user interaction into a single end-to-end project. By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to design, build, refine, and troubleshoot a complete Unity Pipe Runner game while strengthening your Unity game development skills.
