They're already called reverse bullet hell?
I didn't know that, but it fits. That or bullet heaven.
Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don't clobber it with a genre name.
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.
Normal bullet hell (Touhou): the enemies shoot a hell of bullets at you. And your job is to avoid it. Reverse bullet hell (Vampire Survivors): you shoot a hell of bullets at the enemies. And your job is to shoot even more, bigger, stronger bullets.
Just like Vampire Survivors!
