The Dizzy series is virtually unknown in the United States, but remains very popular in Europe. There is very little solid ground, and the main means of traversing this level is by rail lifts.

** The sprites' dwellings in ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'' I and II were a variant of this -- seemingly too small for most humanoids (since sprites are rather diminuitive creatures), and lacking both rope bridges and ladders (since sprites fly and therefore don't need them). Of course, only the ones found in the wild are technically ''villages'' (since the ones in towns are a part of a larger settlement where most dwellings don't look like that), but [[TropesAreFlexible treetop neighbourhoods fit the spirit, if not the alliteration, of the trope close enough]].
