I find it helpful to keep moving. The swarm leaders that shoot at you
always shoot at where you were when they launched their weapons.

This becomes more important in higher levels (esp. 9). It takes a
certain knack to know when the leaders will fire, so I stay still just
for a moment, and then move when they will fire.
