Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don't clobber it with a genre name.

An existing game from newgrounds posted 14 years ago. I don't think it's going to cause that much confusion.

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.
