thank you so much!! That is definitely a problem, and it's one I only noticed just before the jam ended, so I sadly wasn't able to fix it. There's a similar event in level 2 where if you go right when the spinning bar appears instead of left you take unavoidable damage. I do really want to expand upon this idea and if I do I will make sure these events don't occur. And as for it not being a bullethell, I'd agree. It started as one, but as the concept evolved and I had more time with it, I realized that if I had regular bullethell patterns, it would be very unfair, and the points where you get hit just by "being in the wrong place" would be far too frequent.
