Game ideas for Unity

[themaniac]

So I'm trying to learn Unity and I am lacking in the ideas department, so I would like some ideas for games that I could try to make to learn Unity. Also can you be semi specific, as in don't say something vague like "make a platformer" be more specific by adding a mechanic or some other thing.

If you're just trying to learn, pick a simple game you know like pacman or space invaders and try to recreate it.
Basically create a character you can control, and an enemy AI for the character to avoid, kill, etc.
Have you looked into the tutorials that Unity provides? They are well documented and a really great starting point for beginners.

The way I know a couple other people started with unity was recreating games like angry birds and other simpler mobile games.

Thanks, i'll try those, and yes I have looked into them but I want to avoid them as much as I can, because I want to try to learn things by myself rather than following a tutorial because I wont end up learning anything at least from the times I have tried I haven't really learned anything from following tutorials

This. This got me into game development. I would just make clones of popular games in my free time.

Fair enough. If you ever get stuck, Unity has great documentation on the Unity editor should you need help.
