I have a question about creating a hinge joints for a 2d sprite of a vector graph snake in a horizontal position in unity. That way its setup is that the snake is in a horizontal position as you move it the body sort of in curve position in the "X" axis. Something similar to the movement of a Jointed Snake Toy. But, after looking up and found tutors only discuss the vertical position of a hinge joint, and I do not know how to create the curve position without pulling the 2d object downward from the "X" axis. Here is a snapshot of the vector art snake for visual example.

I'm not familiar with Unity's joints, so this may not be a useful suggestion, but can you perhaps rotate the joint such that it moves in the horizontal rather than the vertical?

I finally solved it by connect two transparent 2d sprite in front of the head and at the end of tail of the snake. I made the transparent 2d sprite as the main pulley where its not only pulling the head of the snake, but the body while the transparent 2d sprite that is behind the tail with a hinge joint 2d that is connect to the tail. I also set the rigidbody 2d's gravity scale 1 to the six body part and set the rigidbody 2ds gravity scale to -12 for the transparent 2d sprite in front of the head of the snake. To give it a flexible, but rag doll like snake that we was looking for. But, thanks for the tip.
