so if bullet hell is when the bullets are coming at you, and bullet heaven is when the bullets are coming from you, what is bullet purgatory?
Replies
bullet purgatory was invented in 8th Century China when the new permanent reality of a bullet that could be made at any time but (possibly) hadn't yet was discovered by army quartermasters fucking around with fireworks

Immaterial and Missing Power and its sequel Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, or else some game like Senko no Ronde. Games where you are both sending and receiving danmaku, making a heaven out of hell, and a hell out of heaven.

You have to navigate a floor covered in bullets and you’re not wearing any shoes.

It's when, early on, you're given an endgame weapon with exactly three shots.

I hadn't realized that there was a correct answer to this question, but that is the correct answer.

maybe it is a hypothetical game where a bullet heaven is fighting a bullet hell and you're stuck in the crossfire

The bullets are stationary in the air. No harm if you stand still, no joy of obliterating enemies. Simply monotony as you gaze upon an array of bullets that will never reach their destinations

It can't be when the bullets are orbiting you passively, because that's just a powerup in bullets hell or heaven.

Bullet nirvana is that brief moment after a bomb when there's nothing on screen. The bullets are extinguished, the self is briefly nothing as its relationship to the screen has been rendered moot. One is the other is the one. But then shit starts showing up again and you're back in bullet samsara.

When bullets are nullified somehow? Or just float mobile. Landmine heaven/hell?

It’s that part of Undertale when you’re low on health so all of Toriel’s bullets keep missing you but being subtle enough that you can think you’re being attacked.

Bullet purgatory is the loading screen for a bullet heaven or hell game. Until the loading bar finishes, you wait. You wait for your fate to be determined. You are being judged. Where will you be sent? Will you rise or fall? You don't know. You wait. In time the waiting is its own reward.
