Creating a Rogue-like Shoot 'Em Up (like Vampire Survivors) in Unity
In the next part of our tutorial series, we will be implementing a save functionality for our coins and coin pickups. We'll be introducing a coin system that persists across play sessions, allowing players to track their progression. Alongside this, we'll add new pickups that reward players with coins during gameplay.
Currently, there are no persistent rewards tied to completing levels. By introducing collectible and usable coins, we create a more engaging experience where players feel rewarded for their efforts and have meaningful goals to work toward.

Continuing on from our Character Select Screen, lets do up a Level Select (or Stage Selection as Vampire Survivors calls it) for our player to both choose what map they'd like to play on, as well as view the level's info such as the time limit, bonuses and more. We'll also be introducing level buffs that can affect both players and enemies, adding variety to your level's mechanics and making each level more unique
Currently, our tutorial series only has one level, which is the Mad Forest, so with this new level select that we're gonna be implementing, it will enable us to create new levels much easier.

Hence in Part 24, we'll be adding proper character icons, a description box, and a stats section so players know the exact stats of the character they'll be selecting.
