I'm working on a Homestuck Snakelike game and I can't decide if I want to use a top down view or a side view for the levels.

The side view gives me the ability to draw the land prettier and probable more recognisable. (Because I certainly don't know how the buildings look like from the top so I'm having a lot of trouble imagining top down) It's an extra 'layer' though which has no real connection to the ground the character is walking on.

The top down view makes a bit more sense for the character walking on it. In general, that is. Problematic are lands which consist of a lot of water or lands with huuuge buildings in the way like in Dirk's land LoTaK. I'm probably going to ignore that problem anyway though or think about ways to make characters fly or float or whatever is needed. (Like giving dirk a rocketboard and rose something to float over water with). I don't know all of the lands well enough to say directly on the spot if that actually works for all of the lands.. Dreamers and god tier characters can fly anyway so only the 'normal outfit' ones are problematic.

Soo I'm asking you what you would prefer to see? Backgrounds in side view style or top down?
Opinions would be nice~ Also doing a poll for this.
On another note, maybe someone would be interested in helping me draw backgrounds? There are 20 characters so 20 lands to draw;A; (well 18 lands left) So help would be appreciated : D
