Hi evanwitt,
The Haunting Eyes move behind all objects, but they still can be shot by the player and they can also collide with the player. They can't collide with anything else and their weapon doesn't hit any object other than the player. Yeah, the Haunting Eyes are tough to beat with your primary weapon at level 1. From the 6th mission onwards, levels are filled with more enemies, so that before encountering the first haunting eye, you encounter enough raging bulls to get the laser weapon first, then shoot off the haunting eyes easily with lasers. This is important from the 6th mission onwards, since colliding with the haunting eyes gives you negative points. However, in the fifth mission, you don't encounter enough raging bulls to get the laser weapon first. Killing a Haunting Eye with the primary weapon is possible, but is very hard, since it takes 4 hits. But since points still don't matter in the fifth mission, you could just easily crash into the first 2 haunting eyes. The third haunting eye gets destroyed by a laser ray, unless you use the boost ability in a wrong moment, so that the laser ray misses the haunting eye.
Yes, there are 5 raging bulls that get destroyed, but one after another. It happens quite quickly, but it's still not as if they explode all simultaneously. There are also a lot of "x" collectibles. The goal is to interrupt the appearing of the laser beam icons in your weapon slots by collecting the "x" items, so that there never appear 3 laser beam icons in a row. It takes a bit of practice to pull it off, but since there are a lot of "x" items, it's not like it requires extreme precision. Just grab the "x" items at a relatively quick pace at the same time the raging bulls are getting destroyed.
Sorry again for the confusion. I can see how this fifth mission is a bit difficult to understand. I think all other missions should be clear. Still, please do not hesitate to ask me any other question that may come up. I'm always glad to help. :)
