So here we are again. After a long time, let's get back to Shoot the Bullet. This time, we continue with our journey through the levels, and we get to the third level. This one should get more difficult, and should destroy you, right? Well, maybe. But still, with some practice, patience and experience, every decent player should beat this one without problems. The enemies are Alice Margatroid and her dolls, and the half deamon teacher, Keine Kamishirasawa. Also, this level consists of eight scenes, opposed to six in the previous stages. More scene, more fun!

Scene 1

In the first scene, Alice shows us some nice flower patterns. You might notice that it's becoming a bit more challenging as in the previous stages. The bullets fly from the flower pattern in bulks - some of them are close together and some of them have more space. You have to watch out for the ones that can trap you and use the gaps between the others, or fly around them completely. It takes some time, but it's really not that hard when you get used to it. You need five photos, and the bullets get more severe each time.

Scene 2

And here is Keine. This one may look scary at first, but it's much easier as Alice's first scene. The key is slow movement. It's a very limited streaming scene, where the lasers shoot directly at you, so you just have to dodge them by a little amount. Use the charge focus movement (shift+Z) to slow yourself down to the minimum and just move to the side. After you charge up, just move up and shoot her. Five shots, no big deal.

Scene 3

Oh my oh my, what did the puppeteer bring this time. Scenes like this are my nightmare - pathfinding through a cloud of random bullets. Well OK, there is some pattern in it, but it's still random enough to freak you out. Any tips? Don't die! And try to find the large gaps between clusters of bullets. And don't move too much, else you will get hit.

Scene 4

Keine and lasers and streaming again. You may use the charge focus and move away from the lasers slowly. Try not to get caught by the bullets she shoots on the sides. Changing direction helps (use the gaps between the lasers). Six shots, wonderful!

Scene 5

And since we used srtreaming against Keine, why not use it against Alice too. And nothing difficult! So she shoots the dolls at you? And they keep a trail of bullets behind them? No big deal, just move slowly with charge focus from one side of the screen to the other. I advise staying somewhere in the middle or slightly higher on the screen, so you can shoot her immediately after you charge your flash. This way you can do the first three shots on one pass of the screen. After the first three shots, she starts shooting the dolls faster - but don't get scared, the speed of your movement is enough with charge focus. And it's just 5 shots, easy!

Scene 6

Looks crazy, right? Lasers everywhere! Good thing about this one is that the lasers are always the same, and the bullets are shot in your direction. First thing is to find the right hole between the lasers, and the second thing is to dodge the bullet in this tiny space. After  that, just move up and shoot her. Seven times. Eek.

Scene 7

And a streaming lesson extraordinaire. Alice shoots these large blobs at you, so you have to stream through the screen. The good thing is that it's not 100% continuous - after some time, she has to stop shooting them and you can move around / change direction / shoot etc. But it's not that simple, since she also shoots a few circular patterns of smaller bullets. These get in your way of course, especially when you're on the edge of the screen. Good thing it's only five shots.

Scene 8

And the last scene, with more lasers! And of course, random bullets in between, what joy! Now watch this one. She moves around on the top of the screen from one side to another with lasers shooting from her in several directions. These lasers move with her, and they don't move in a simple way, but very irregurarly. So watch them, or they will hit you in the back. And of course, the smaller random bullets are just flying around hitting you. Great. Stay away from the lasers as much as possible, somewhere in the middle of the gaps. Dodge the small bullets there, while moving to the direction of the enemy's movement. Then just shoot the bitch. Good thing it's jut four shots.

And that's it for level 3! Next time, more rabbits in level 4.
