Shmups:
So far, all our games are 4-player shmups -- shorthand for shoot 'em up. Shmups are also known as 2D shooters, STGs (shooting games), scrolling shooters (vertical shooters, vertically scrolling shooters, horizontal shooters, side-scrolling shooters, ...), and more.
Bullet Hell?
Our shmups are technically "manic shmups", not "bullet hell" shmups! The western world tends to miscategorize our games as "bullet hell" due to their intense number of bullets. We view this as a note of respect, but wish to clarify it for the true fans:
- Bullet Hell = very high number of bullets in beautiful, designed patterns requiring memorization.
- Manic Shmup = very high number of bullets in chaotic "patterns" that requiring quick reflexes and dodging skills.
P.S. There are overlap within these sub-genres of shmups.
P.P.S. Our Decimation X series helped coin the term "bullet rain" -- a take-off of "bullet hell" -- even though it is also a manic shmup!

Note: Our unreleased games, Duality ZF, Decimation X3.5, and Decimation X4, are unique from our game prototypes in that they were developed for release and exist (or have existed in) playable, releasable states and were showcased at game conferences.
