      This type of game seems to be the new hotness right now, and there are now enough that I feel like they’ll need their own genre identifier.

      Is there a broadly accepted one? If so, is it good?

      And, if not, what do you think games of that type should be called?

      I’ve see a few suggestions here and there, but none of them have felt right to me. I’m interested in almost theorycrafting the optimal genre identifier (in the vein of “procedural death labyrinth”). What are the unifying traits of games of these types, how do we best identify them without simply stringing together other genres (e.g. “reverse bullet hell idle action roguelike”), and what can we use that has “stickiness” as a term?
