''[[XOP]]'' is a series of [[Bullet Hell]] shooters by Christopher "Udderdude" Emirzian. The games, unlike most [[Shoot'Em Up|ShootEmUps]] are relatively plotless, with the plot basically being, "There's stuff to shoot. Now go shoot it. Also, [[Bullet Hell|bullets. Lots of them.]]" Each game has an arcade mode with various courses, score attack for each level, boss rushes and the option of recording demos of gameplay.
 
[[Updated Rerelease|Updated Rereleases]]s of the first game and its sequel, ''XOP Ultra'' and ''XOP Black Ultra'' were released summer 2011, along with a challenge mix called ''XOP Black Ultra Special'', a gauntlet featuring shortened versions of all 10 of the sequel's stages. The three games were formerly freeware but are now only available in a bundle for a small fee on [https://web.archive.org/web/20141225110502/http://rydia.net/udder/prog/xopblack/ the publisher's website]. A third game (entitled XOP G) is currently in the works, as well.

* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Expert difficulty and [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Master difficulty]].
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: Your hitbox is a 2x2 pixel square in your center.
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: Whenever any organic enemies die.
