The simpler answer is just to use the native Box2D physics system to keep things in the scene. This might seem like overkill, but the 2D physics system is very fast and fluid, and it is simple to use.
We already added the physics components, Rigidbody 2D (to apply physics) and a Box Collider 2D (to detect collisions), ...
