Top-Down Shooter Template (2D Unity Asset)

Top-Down Shooter Template is a complete 2D Unity framework that gives you everything you need to build your own top-down action game.

It includes realistic movement, dynamic aiming, and an advanced weapon system supporting multiple weapon types, projectiles, raycasts, and explosions.

Main Features:

• Smooth top-down player movement with acceleration, inertia, and step sounds

• Camera follow with smooth offset toward the cursor

• Aiming and shooting system with instant hits or physical projectiles

• Weapon customization: create pistols, rifles, shotguns, burst weapons, or rocket launchers

• Reloading, recoil, and crosshair selection for each weapon

• Impact effects that change depending on weapon type and hit surface or enemy

• Full audio and animation support for realistic gameplay feedback

This template is ideal for developers who want a ready-to-use foundation for 2D shooter games — whether arcade-style or tactical.
