    I'm looking forward in creating a 2D game that would look appealing in the terms of the gameplay. However, being a beginner I am, having a lot of connecting scripts would most likely to cause a ton of confusion (I've tried making a game before and it doesn't end well in the slightest bit!). Therefore, is there any suggestions and/or tutorials on what game could I create?

    Thank you,

    I know how overwhelming it can be in the beginning. Start with the tutorials in the 'Learn' section. Part of game designing is deciding what objects get scripts and how to organize them. In general, any object that does something should have it's own script. So if a cube is rotating too fast and you want it slower, the script attached to the cube is where you'll make the change. Once you get use to the concept, it is very easy and much more efficient than searching through 1000s of lines of code in an uber script.

    Once you learn Unity, you'll have more ideas for games than you have time to make them.

    Anything early 80s is good for your first game. Try pong, space invaders, frogger, pacman ect.

    Or most anything from the modern era of casual mobile games — Flappy Bird, Doodle Jump, etc.
