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

Near infinitely replayable games that usually feature, random generation, perma-death, and brutal difficulty. 

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.
