Games in which the player shoots things to progress, usually with a variety of guns, and other times with bows and arrows.

Projects inspired by the 16 bit console generation from the late 80s and early 90s. Including the consoles Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.

Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.

Typically shoot em' up games where the emphasis is dodging a large number of bullets on the screen at once. Bullets form dense patterns on the screen that require precise controls to avoid.
