Bullet hell shooters, now here's a genre of games that puzzle me. In these games you control a small craft typically armed with ridiculous firepower faced against scrolling levels chock full of enemies firing swarms of bullets at you, pretty much covering the entire screen in death. Its your job to find your way through the levels without taking a single hit, preferably while also killing as many enemies and picking up points as possible in the process for a high score. Why would one expose oneself to such sadistic punishment ? The answer is of course, because its incredibly satisfying to beat them. Really, that moment when you've failed over and over, but finally get through a level after several minutes of one hundred percent complete concentration and adrenaline.. That's why.
