Scrolling shooters are a type of shoot 'em up game that emphasizes fast-paced shooting on a large scrolling playfield with many enemies.. Scrolling shooters are further divided into horizontal (side view) and vertical (top view) shoot 'em ups, but there are also some borderline cases like alternating horizontal and vertical stages in Konami's Axelay
Scrolling shooters include vertical, horizontal, and multidirectional scrolling games. In a horizontally scrolling shooter (sometimes called a horizontal shooter or side-scrolling shooter ), the action is viewed from the side and scrolls right-to-left, left-to-right, or both.
Scrolling shooters include vertical and horizontal scrolling games or combinations of both orientations. In vertically scrolling shooters (or "vertically scrolling shoot 'em ups" or "vertical scrollers"), the action is viewed from above and scrolls up (or very occasionally down) the screen.
A "shoot 'em up", also known as a "shmup" [1] [2] or "STG" (the common Japanese abbreviation for "shooting games"), [3] is a game in which the protagonist combats a large number of enemies by shooting at them while dodging their fire.
