2D

Ludic Spatial Structure dimensionality: two_d

The space exists in the plane: everything lies on one surface, without depth. Position, distance and neighbourhood can be read at a glance.

Design question – What does your game gain when everything lies on one plane - and what must you then achieve through appearance and rules that depth would otherwise carry?

Reference example – Celeste: every jump can be read exactly on the plane. Tetris: blocks fall into a grid without depth. Stardew Valley: the farm from above, in the plane.

Compatible with

• 2.5D (VC-23) – Deviation: played in 2D, depicted in 3D.
• 3D (VC-24) – The other value of the same dimension.
