itch.io

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

Uses two-dimensional "sprites", 2D images created and used on a flat plane, as opposed to the three-dimensional models or environments found in 3D games.

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.
