I hear ya, Chaoseed! My wife also got stuck in that part a good while. A little tip I can give you is to take your time, lure the shield guys out and hover shoot their heads from the distance. Hope that helps.
Thanks for playing it and thanks for your other comments too. It's a short game so I hope you get to be able to finish it. :)
I hadn't even realized the shield-guys were vulnerable at all. I did get past that part, and up to the boss. (Wow that's a lot of health!) The more I play, the more interesting I find the "hovering"; like, you can't jump far enough to jump over a monster, but you can jump and hover to let it pass under you.
The other interesting thing is, the way the game plays, it seems to encourage you to move slowly, pull one or two enemies at a time, basically be cautious. I don't know if that was intended or merely emergent. ;)
