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.
Shoot 'Em Up or shmup games are a subset of shooter games where the player continually moves forward while waves of enemies enter the screen. Both shooting and dodging are critical to advancing. See also Bullet Hell.
