I don’t see how that can happen with the code you’ve given me. The only way the objects could be destroyed is if you have put some code saying Destroy(...) somewhere. Maybe this tutorial could help you: [this video]

I know very little Unity and would like to create a platform 2D game very simple, just using the basic shapes (squares, rectangles, circles, etc.). I searched the internet and I found a more complicated tutorial of what I need. For example, I saw this [this video] but its goal is more ambitious than mine (I have also seen other tutorials but I can't put in additional links). I would love to create something very easy as point to understand the program basics and then try to put something more complicated made by me. Does anyone have any advice for me? This is what I imagine as the first level, is really simple (and ugly): I do not know where to start, I don't think it makes sense to start with so
