Visual novels are interactive stories. They focus mainly on character development and plot rather than action and gameplay mechanics.
Shoot 'Em Up or shmup games are a subset of shooter games where the player continually moves forward while waves of enemies enter the screen. Both shooting and dodging are critical to advancing. See also Bullet Hell.
