Well worth the $20

I'm using this asset as a base for my game. I love the different gravity mechanics. You can easily script in your own functionality too without worrying about the asset breaking. I bought this asset for the gravity mechanics and it works.

Lots o' Content and Great Gravity Control

John Stairs' Planet Platformer is not just a gravity controller. [...] He provides several prefabs that can be dropped into your scene. Plus a set of four demos which demonstrate the types of gravity you can use. There's more I haven't mentioned but all together you get a big bang for your buck.

Very High Quality!

This controller did exactly what I hoped it would do and more. I had a few questions and I received excellent support from John. Yesterday I bought his MMO ARPG Controller and it's fantastic as well. I highly recommend this asset!

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to use the contact form below if you don't find the answer to your question. Please don't use reviews in Unity's Asset Store to ask me questions as I don't look into them often.

Are there any new features planned?

Planned, yes, but unfortunately new features have to wait since developing for Unity is only a hobby and not my main profession. I’ll get back to my Unity projects once I have more time again.

Why do I get so many errors?

The reason could be a wrong setup. Please set up everything according to the manual. Use the demo scene to verify that everything is set up correctly.
