It allows you to create and populate all kinds of regular and semi-regular grids, including rectangular, hexagonal and isometric grids quickly and effortless. Includes a robust grid entities and tiles system, advanced grid-movement, A* path finding, character controllers, interactive objects and everything you need to create your own grid-based game.
Anything is possible, from tactics games like Into the Breach and Advanced Wars, to puzzle games like Monument Valley and Tetris, through roguelikes/lites such as Crypt of the NecroDancer, verby nouns like Crossy Road or even match 3 like Candy Crush, and really any game where you need a Grid of any kind and Entities to move on it.
It is the best framework for grid based games out there, whether you’re new to Unity, or an experienced developer. Easy to use, packed with features, built with good practices at its core, and constantly updated, it’s the ultimate tool to get yourself a head start and have fun creating your game.
