A complete 3D endless runner sold on the Unity Asset Store as the WRP 3D Infinite Endless Runner Kit. It is a template project other developers could buy and build their own runner out of or use it for rapid prototyping. It ships with three-lane movement over adjustable path heights, seven obstacle types, power-ups, swipe and gyro controls, menus, sound, and a HUD that keeps score and currency.

I led the engineering. I converted the project from UnityScript to C#, and built the editor tools that made it usable as a kit: swapping the art out for your own, switching between script sets, and editing the global variables from the inspector.
