Metroidvania Tutorial Series - Ep. 07 | Hold Button To Run | Let's Make A Metroidvania in Unity!

🏃 Want tighter, more responsive character controls in your 2D game? In this Unity 6 tutorial, I’ll show you how to add a Run button mechanic — so your player can switch between walking and sprinting at the press of a key. We’ll also wire it up to animations so your character feels alive when running! We’ll cover: ⚡ Setting up a Run input in Unity’s new Input System 🎮 Writing clean movement code for Walk vs. Run speeds 👟 Animating your Run state By the end, you’ll have a player who can walk, sprint, and animate fluidly — a foundation for any polished platformer, action RPG, or Metroidvania. 🔗 Assets Used (Free for Commercial Use!)
