How can I escape a death loop?

If you press F3 and select another character, it will place you slightly different. I only got this to work with custom characters which are free to download though, but I don't know if there's some standard characters that also can do this. Keep in mind that custom characters often fire shots from different height. I was stuck inside a moving spike, and this worked for me. I used magic Mickey or something.

I've never played this game, but I've researched others who have been in familiar predicaments like yours and have found a solution.

As soon as the game starts, press the console key (~), then type the following in the console:

tgm

That will toggle god mode until you detoggle it. Do whatever you have to in order to get out of there. Then repeat the above steps to disable god mode.

If there are any more obstacles that face your way, tell me in the comments and I'll do my best to help you out.

Cheers!
