>The radiating circles have some fairly large gaps between their shots. It is where they overlap that it becomes crowded. The arcs are a bit more tightly put together, but you think you should be able to get through them as long as you can meet them on your own terms.
>A couple seconds. Maybe less. Two of the circles are reasonably close to you now.

>All of the gaps are the same size in the circles themselves, though they can get quite a bit tighter where more than one circle overlaps. Directly ahead, for now, is not overlapping.

>You move rightward, closing more in on the circles expanding from that direction, as well as a couple bullet arcs coming from that direction. Still, they aren't an immediate threat just yet. The stuff from the left continues to come from that direction, expanding outward with gaps widening in some places, while others are filled as other circles intersect with them. Some are coming from ahead now as well.

>Several. The further away from the left and more toward ahead they go, the less risky they become, until you are aiming very nearly forward, where more expanding circles are becoming a problem.
