Looking for my sprite to get smaller when moving up, and larger when moving down.
I have a scene:

screen
screen2160×924 272 KB

Some code I’m currently using:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float moveSpeed = 5f;

    public Rigidbody2D rb;


    Vector2 movement;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        
    }

}

try this code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 5f;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
    public Transform spriteTransform;

    Vector2 movement;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        // adjusting scale of the sprite based on vertical movement
        float scaleMultiplier = 1f - Mathf.Abs(movement.y) * 0.1f;
        spriteTransform.localScale = new Vector3(scaleMultiplier, scaleMultiplier, 1f);
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
}
