No, Steam, they're not "bullet hell action roguelikes".

      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.
