This is my best failed attempt so far on the FIRST FUCKIN checkpoint of stage 3 after 1 hour and seven minutes of dying.
I moved this game to the brutal games series because I think it qualifies as its gotten insanely dense since the end of stage 2.
Everything shoots at you, theres alot of fuckin enemies and they shoot behind them as they pass, as well as enemies come out of the back of the screen. So theres no safe spots most of the time.
I may end up practicing the fire snake on a save state to learn it since I only got to it once and didnt have a plan.
