Setup

Simply drag and drop the unity package into your unity editor.

If the sprites aren't showing, then go to the top right and click "Layers." A drop down will appear, scroll down to the bottom and click "Add layers." Then go to the top right and click the small button that looks like two horizontal sliders. A small window will appear saying "Select Present." There will be a present there, click that and exit the window. Press play and the issue will be resolved.

That's very cool! It's useful for beginners and experts, too cuz includes the basic game logic scripts which is a lot time saving!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)
