Top-Down is the default style when creating a map, and all devices are available. Characters can walk in any direction and do not have gravity.
Notes
- Top-Down was released alongside Fishtopia in February 2022.
- Gamemodes such as Tag and Capture The Flag have upgrades that allow characters to move faster.
Platformer

Notes
