A mobile game that works in the Unity Editor is not necessarily ready for a phone.
Real devices introduce smaller screens, touch input, interruptions, limited memory, thermal pressure, signing requirements, advertising failures, privacy obligations, and constantly changing store rules. A prototype may look finished on a computer yet fail when it meets those realities.
Mobile Game Development with Unity 2D Project Lab gives you a practical, start-to-release path for creating a complete portrait-oriented arcade game for Android and iOS.
The book’s continuing project, Orbital Courier, begins as a simple scene with a spacecraft and gradually becomes a tested product with responsive input, progression, saved information, monetization, diagnostics, and store-ready release configurations.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Install Unity and prepare Android and iOS build environments
- Create organized scenes, prefabs, components, sprites, and C# scripts
- Build tap, hold, drag, and swipe recognition with the Input System
- Prevent gameplay actions from conflicting with buttons and menus
- Create hazards, collectibles, scoring, health, shields, spawning, and difficulty progression
- Build responsive interfaces that respect safe areas, cutouts, and varied aspect ratios
- Save settings and structured player progress safely
- Protect saved information through versioning, migration, and backup strategies
- Use ScriptableObjects, services, scene transitions, and object pools
- Add animation, particles, audio, lighting, camera feedback, and optional haptics
- Profile CPU, GPU, memory, rendering, physics, loading, heat, and battery behaviour
- Improve measured bottlenecks without applying random optimizations
- Integrate rewarded and interstitial advertising behind a maintainable abstraction
- Handle consent, privacy, younger audiences, unavailable inventory, and failed placements responsibly
- Test interruption, restart, installation, updating, offline, and low-memory scenarios
- Protect signing credentials and produce controlled release candidates
- Prepare Android App Bundles for Google Play
- Export through Xcode, distribute with TestFlight, and submit through App Store Connect
- Plan updates, save migrations, staged releases, monitoring, and post-launch maintenance
The explanations are beginner-friendly but grounded in professional software practices. Each major stage includes implementation guidance, common mistakes, troubleshooting steps, and a hands-on laboratory.
Whether you are a student, hobbyist, career switcher, or early Unity developer, this book will help you move beyond tutorial prototypes and understand the complete journey from an empty scene to a released product.
Do not stop when the game runs in the Editor. Build something that can survive real screens, real devices, real interruptions, and real players.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
