Description
Links: Manual
☘️ This asset is part of the World Building Bundle. ☘️
What is this?
It’s a ready-to-release 2.5D racing game with everything you need.
Where is the catch?
Well, there is no audio included. You’ll have to make your own sound effects.
And you might want to add some more levels (level creation tools included).
☕ F E A T U R E S:
● 2.5D Bike and Character
A battle tested 2d pyhsics bike and character rig (played by 500.000+ players). See 2.5D Bike for more details.
● Level creation tools
Sophisiticated tools made specifically for 2.5D worlds. Namely 2.5D Terrain and 2.5D Bridge Builder and a looping for good measure.
● Fully playable game
Includes a release ready game with save system, touch & keyboard controls, ui management, world building tools, … . The menu is very minimal to give you room to express yourself (i.e. rip out what you don’t need). It’s meant as a starting base which allows you to get into designing your game quickly.
● Mobile Ready
Optimized for performance (runs nicely even on 3 year old devices).
● Full Source Code
Comments in the code explain everything. Uses assembly definitions to improve compile times. I publish this template with full source code because as a developer I know how annoying it is to not have source code access. If you like it then please remind others to purchase the plugin. Don’t just copy and paste it everywhere. Thank you ❤️
● Extensive Documentation
All concepts are explained in the manual using some text and many many images.
● A real world solution
It’s not an academic paper but derived from a project with 100.000+ players that was released on Pc, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Windows Store, Xbox and the Nintendo Switch. Though the Switch code is not included due to Nintendo NDA, sorry.
● Supports Unity 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, Unity 6, .. LTS
Non LTS and Beta releases are not supported though I’ll do my best to make them work too.
● Supports URP, HDRP and BuiltIn
All render pipelines are supported. Demo triplanar shader with materials included. All materials are patched automatically upon import. No pink materials! You will be ready to go immediately.
NOTICE #1: The triplanar URP and HDRP shaders are based on shader graph. You need to have the Shader Graph Package installed to use them. Though you can always fall back to the BuiltIn shader too.
NOTICE #2: There is NO AUDIO included!
NOTICE #3: The TextFields in the UI are using TextMeshPro. You will be asked to import TMP once you open a scene which contains UI elements.
NOTICE #4: The character is a custom right optimized for 2.5D gameplay (2D physics). It’s not a standard character right so it won’t work with any of the default character controllers. Instead it is controlled by the 2D physics joints.
⚙️ Installation
1) Download the Asset and import it into your project.
2) You are done, no additional setup is needed (except for reading the manual). No additional packages are needed. Everything you need to make more levels is included in the package.
✍️ Usage
⚠️ Import TMP Essentials BEFORE importing this asset!
This asset uses TMP fonts. If you do not have TMP installed before import you will get some font related errors.
⚠️ Read the manual. No really, I mean it. READ THE MANUAL. It’s quite a lot of code and you will get into it much quicker if you know the core concepts before engaging it.
⚠️ Some users have asked if this package includes the 2.5D Terrain, 2.5D Bridge Builder and 2.5D Looping. YES, yes it does, BUT it uses versions of these packages that have been altered slightly to better integrate into the game template.
So if you get this template the please do NOT import the other packages from the store or you might get conflicts. All the files are included (Assets/BikeRacingTemplate2.5D/Terrain/2.5D Terrain for example).
Once you got this asset then these other assets will unlock for you in the store (they will become free to download):
☘️ 2.5D Terrain
3D Mesh and 2D collider generated from curves.

???? 2.5D Bridge Builder

Please notice again that you do NOT have to download or install these. They are included only because I think if you got the bike template then you should also get access to every single asset that has been used in the template creation. You do NOT need them for this asset to work.
⚠️ Some users have asked how this differs from the “2.5D World Building Bundle”.
In the past this asset did not unlock those single assets (2.5D Terrain, ..) but only included the adapted versions. However, I noticed this caused a lot of confusion and now it unlocks those assets.
I may add more 2.5D assets to the bundle in the future but right now it does not matter much which one you get (please check the bundle because I may have forgotten to update this text after adding new assets to the bundle). When in doubt I’d say get the bundle which will unlock this asset anyways.
