Why can't I move the character around?

To train myself I've been reproducing the same steps several times in AC. Namely : Create an empty game, add a dummy character (no mesh, no sprite) and move it around.

For example, one of my attempts was here and it worked (apart from the "retro-style movement" and the need for moving the capsule collider higher up) :

Now, I find myself doing it one more time, thinking "piece of cake!".
And it doesn't work: I click, and the character doesn't move.
It's literally 50 seconds worth of setup.

What did I forget this time?

Make sure you put your floor on the NavMesh layer and try again. The floor needs to be on this layer to receive clicks.

Why are you using Sprites Unity in a 3D Game? Is this a 2D game or a 3D game?

Lots of 3D games use sprites (think Knights and Bikes, or Don't Starve).
