A shmup, or shoot 'em up, is a genre of video games in which the player controls a lone character, whose objective is to destroy waves upon waves of enemies. Shmups are action games that characteristically feature either a top-down or horizontal view with a continuous scrolling screen. Shmups are known for their fast-paced action, often having dizzying amounts of bullets and enemies on the screen. Shmups are generally considered to be one of the most difficult genres of video games.
