Crossfires

Crossfire is an enemy only seen in levels 18 and 19 of The Bucket. It has four spokes which turn in a clockwise direction, each of them bearing small hot flames. Although it remains in one place when seen, it is considered an enemy because it has a face.

Destroying Crossfire is not possible, and the player must treat this enemy as if it were one of the wooden spokes seen in earlier levels, being careful not to touch any of the "arms". Contact with Crossfire's fiery spokes will cause the raccoon to lose a life, and will jerk the mystical flying fish's movement. The string separating the fish from the bucket, however, seems to be tolerant to Crossfire's spokes and thus, the player can successfully avoid them using this strategy.
