No, Steam, they're not "bullet hell action roguelikes".

    They’re already called reverse bullet hell?

        Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don’t clobber it with a genre name.

          An existing game from newgrounds posted 14 years ago. I don’t think it’s going to cause that much confusion.

          Looks like it’s too late. I Googled bullet heaven and it took a few minutes to find the actual game, which is ironically a bullet hell game.

      What in the heck is a reverse bullet hell? If a bullet hell is “so many bullets” then I have to image it’s like… Not many bullets at all. That sounds too easy.

        It should be more in inverse bullet hell: it’s hell, but not for you.

        I didn’t come up with the name, that’s just what people have been calling it for as long as I can remember.
