Backtracking is artificially prevented in sidescrollers and blocked backtracking is usually more common in topdown or third person games.
Auto-scrolling games should not apply normally, though may be included if the player character does not move automatically with the scrolling except when pushed by the "back". This non-automatic movement can often lead to unwanted deaths from the character being crushed by some environmental obstacle and the inevitable wall of progress.
