* WaveMotionGun: For both enemies and players. Boss versions tend to be screen-filling [[Main/OneHitKill one hit kill]] types, though player craft may also be capable of the same thing as a type of bomb or [[Main/ChargedAttack charged attack]].

* EveryTenThousandPoints: The usual method of obtaining a OneUp. Some games will offer a 1-up every ''x'' points, so as long as you keep racking up points you'll gain more one-ups. Some others will only offer one or two extra lives, and some will only offer it as an item or not at all.

Some others will only offer one or two extra lives, and some will only offer it as an item or not at all.



* ScoringPoints: A staple of the genre. Older games typically just amount to "kill enemies and collect point items", but newer games generally have [[ScoreMultiplier more complex scoring systems]], sometimes requiring [[SomeDexterityRequired dexterity]] or [[GuideDangIt a guide to figure out]]. Many games offer [[EveryTenThousandPoints extra lives at certain point thresholds]] to encourage players to care about score to some extent. [[ContinuingIsPainful Continuing often resets the player's score to 0.]]

Like a platform game, shoot 'em ups have become popular with amateur game developers for their relative ease of development. Very few professional examples of the genre have been developed since the TurnOfTheMilennium -- for example ''[[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Gradius V]]'', [[Creator/{{Treasure}} which wasn't developed by series creator]] {{Creator/Konami}}.[[note]](Although the company that worked on ''Gradius V'' was founded by former Konami employees.)[[/note]]
