Rogue-like/Bullet Hell/Shoot 'em ups are extremely popular right now. It definitely takes a ton of inspiration from 10 minutes till dawn and Vampire survivors. It's just an easy way to make a game fun. In the future I plan on ripping that part of the game apart and focus more on a dungeon crawler aspect. I'd like to make it more like Enter the Gungeon than 10 minutes till dawn eventually.
