Vertical Scrolling Shooter

The Vertical Scrolling Shooter is similar to the Side Scrolling Shooter in every way except the direction of the action. This style has you moving up or down while shooting enemies instead of left or right. While the shooter may feature a top-down or overhead perspective, the fact that the screen only moves up or down is what makes it fall under this style. Both 3D and 2D graphics are included in this style.
