Top-Down Perspective The game is presented in an overhead view, or bird's eye view, as if the player was seeing the game from above.
Platformer Perspective The view of the game is from the side. Here, the player can see sprites jumping.
Bounded Space The game space is closed on the sides so the sprites cannot leave or fall out of the screen.
Unbounded Space The game space is open so that sprites can leave or fall out of the screen.
Wraparound Space The game space wraps around so that when sprites exit off one side of the screen, they appear on the opposite side.
Scrolling Space There are multiple screens in this game space so an avatar can move horizontally or vertically through different environments.
