Make your Game - Pluggable movement system and heaps of built-in movements and options mean you can ensure your game is YOUR game, not just a variation of ours.
Does the Hard Stuff - Does the stuff that most other kits don’t: 360 Degree Loops, Ledge Climb, Ropes, Mecanim-driven movement, gravity flip and heaps more.
Does the Extra Stuff - Includes systems for everything from in-game customisable inputs to power-ups and items to a ‘no-code’ menu system.
Many samples - We don’t just include one or two samples. The kit has 8 (and growing) sample levels which include 2.5D and 2D, physics-like movement and retro-movement, melee and projectile attacks.
Great Documentation - Not just API docs. Online HTML guides for beginners through to advance users, custom inspectors (with tooltips, warning messages, and helpers), FAQ’s, online video tutorials, slack chat, and more.
Unfortunately its hard to make this both flexible and simple. On the positive once you set it up you shouldn’t need to touch it.
Also submitted the next revision. Release notes:
- Added variation to alien sample showing health bar and 'health pack' items to boost health.
- Fixed bug where standard ledge climb would start REACHING movement when outside of the grasp distance.
- Added an alternative jetpack movement which only takes effect when in the air, much like a double jump.
- Small clean-ups to various samples.
- Submitted alternative package with Unity 5 to avoid warning message showing up in the asset store.
Last one is a doozy, even though the package imports into Unity 5 without requiring script upgrade (and has no warning or errors), the asset store still repots a warning when Unity 5 users try to use it (unbeknownst to me until someone posted a support request). This update I submitted with 4.6 and with 5.1 so this warning should go away. Hope I didn’t lose too many users :s
For more detailed support I’ll need a project as ledge climbs are tricky to debug without a project. Can you export your Ferr2D colliders to a static collider and create a simple sample project?

Added some more animation doco. This time for the '2D with transition" animation bridge which allows you to do ‘in-between’ animations like a landing animation between FALL and RUN or a stand animation between CROUCH and IDLE.

This sounds interesting and is motivating to get more of my project together. Thanks for forming this competition, can’t wait to see what other users are doing with Platformer Pro.
@StevenWendel - I figure its good for everyone involved. A bit motivation to get your game moving forward, a (little) bit of advertising for your game. Potential for a little prize and of course good advertising for me too.
Started work on the next sample called KarateQuest which is vaguely karateka inspired and is mainly about featuring complex attacks, blocks and combos.
EDIT: or not… hard to find good free art. Maybe I should learn to create character sprites
