I really like that cool red\/yellow dude standing next to the tree :D\r\rFew things I have noticed that might help\r- When the snowman or whatever spawns they rush towards you. When they are in close contact with you, its impossible to shoot because the origin of the bullet is after their face.\r- The randomly appearing platforms blocks the upward jump thus making you stuck in the middle of two enemies.\r- The health potion replenishes smaller health then expected. \r\rThese are the some things I noticed in my quick play through.
