Shooting games, also known as "shmups" or "STGs (Shoo-Ting Games)", are a genre of video game that focuses primarily on a single player shooting down waves of enemies in a typically auto-scrolling fashion. Shooting games have two primary subgenres of games (hori (horizontal; Gradius, R-Type, etc.,) and vert (vertical; DonPachi, Ikaruga, etc.)), as well as the occasional isometric shooter.
