>You head rightward, keeping away from the oncoming bullets. A couple of the bubble shots stray into your path, but it should be easy enough to maneuver around them.

>For just moving forward, you'll have to go around two shots. While large, they are isolated and you should be able to dart around them.

> Go ahead and do that, then, assuming it will take minimal effort to avoid those bubbles. Keep in mind that our goal is to outpace the shots behind us for long enough that we can get around them another way.

>You race ahead, darting around the bubbles with as little wasted motion as possible. The lines have yet to catch you, so you must be keeping pace with them, at least.
