Everything used in the level With Written Example:

Framing: Tower Weenie

Zig Zagging: The level is designed with some height variation and alternate routes aswell as turns in the main road to keep it from being straight

Back Tracking: Walking in the cave completeing the objective then heading back out the cave down the main road

Contrasting Space: Variation in the height and width of the road and tunnels aswell as the cave being tighter than the road

Height variation: The level is a landscape with huge variations for mountains and then more variations in the surface the player walks

Weenees/Landmarks: The Canyon, The Tower, The Wall

Affordanced/Denying Affordances: Path up to the tower, Route of the cave, Generator in the cave has a ladder and will be denied in the final version

Breaking from the grid: The level is a landscape and nothign is places so it lines up except within the cave for a street or road like environment
