The lines that fill the screen are lasers that will deal damage to you once Galeem activates it! When these lines show up, head to an empty space to avoid getting damaged!

Stay Patient & Avoid Obstacles
Galeem will be throwing a lot of obstacles to damage you. You will be able to avoid them, but it will reduce the amount of damage you do to Galeem before you back away. Be patient and chip away at Galeem's health!
