About this course: The device or "platform" that a game is developed for and played on has a massive impact on the game development process. In this hands-on course you will explore how to develop a game for a variety of modern platforms, including Web, Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android. While building a complete game, you will learn intermediate and advanced game development techniques in the Unity game engine. By the end of the course, you will understand how to develop, refine, package, and prepare your game for distribution on a variety of game platforms. Particular attention will be given to developing a 2D platformer game that supports multiple forms of input (keyboard/mouse, controller, and touch), works across multiple forms of output (screen size, screen resolution, sound), and performs well on a variety of computing devices.

Good course, I think was a little short, and the test asked was kinda hard task for the moment, but that also helped me gain some knoledge.
Worth it.
Massively helpful in learning Unity. I passed Unity certification by going through this course and the first course (Intro to game development). The instructor is awesome. The class projects are well design and the forum rocks.
