Hi, im brand new to Unity, brand new to coding, and game design as a whole. The first project i would like to work on is simple, but i cant find a starting point or tutorials on how to do it. Basically your character is running along but you dont control him, he just auto scrolls to the right and different enemies come towards you from the right of the screen, then you press the correct button to kill them. There are lots of tutorials on 2d platformers but i cant find any to teach the basics of a level moving instead of you control the character. Hopefully that made sense, i can elaborate more if needed.
Thanks 
If you haven’t, follow along with one of those 2D platformer tutorials you found.
The only difference between a traditional platformer and an autoscroll one is that you’ll just have the camera move to the right on its own, and make the character move with it (set it as a child of the camera, usually.) These are both very simple things that I’m sure are covered in each tutorial, not to mention you’ll need to know how to do a lot of other things common to all games to get it going. Do you have any specific questions?
When you do your searches, try looking for infinite runners rather than platformers. You’ll probably find more of what you’re looking for that way.

It will be very similar to the space shooter tutorial in the Learn section. Basically you keep the player in the one spot & scroll the background.
