Answer 1

This question is a bit old, but I was looking for a a way to get a GameObject with a mouse click in unity 2D, and the Answer from Esa almost helped me, but I couldn't afford to make it to work, so with a bit of research I saw that Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint was returning the center of the screen area of the Camera and to it work right. it required to enter the difference in Z position from the camera and the nearest GameObject. My Camera was set by default in -10 and my GameObject was in 0, so all I needed to do is set my Input.mousePosition.z to 10. So if you are getting problem to work with Esa's code (like me :( )the code bellow may help you:

RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, 10)), Vector2.zero);

if(hit.collider != null)
{
    Debug.Log ("Target Position: " + hit.collider.gameObject.transform.position);
}
