A vertically scrolling video game or vertical scroller is a video game in which the player views the field of play principally from a top-down perspective, while the background scrolls from the top of the screen to the bottom (or, less often, from the bottom to the top) to create the illusion that the player character is moving in the game world.
Scrolling shooters include vertical and horizontal scrolling games or combinations of both orientations. In vertically scrolling shooters (or "vertically scrolling shoot 'em ups" or "vertical scrollers"), the action is viewed from above and scrolls up (or very occasionally down) the screen.
