Bullet hell

Uncommon card · No. 109160

Bullet hell (弾幕, danmaku; literally "barrage" or "bullet curtain"), also known as manic shooter, is a subgenre of shoot 'em up video games with large amounts of projectiles the player is required to dodge. Introduced in 1993 with Batsugun and initially limited to vertically scrolling shooters, bullet hell elements were later added to other genres. The large number of projectiles is usually balanced by the player ship being treated as a single point for collision detection. Pure bullet hell games remain a niche genre due to their high level of difficulty.
