bullet hell
Screen-filling shooter chaos
Bullet hell is a video game genre, usually a shooter, where the screen fills with overwhelming patterns of enemy projectiles that the player must navigate through.
The term describes both the gameplay style and the experience—weaving through hundreds of bullets demands precision and pattern recognition.
I've been playing bullet hell games all week and my reflexes are shot.
