Bullet Hell

A popular shoot ’em up genre distinguished by the high number of enemy bullets to avoid. Bullet heaven was invented as a play on this term. Some people use bullet hell strictly to describe danmaku bullet curtain games, which are distinguished by thick patterns of bullets, but we use it more broadly to refer to any game where dodging bullets is a big part of the gameplay.
