Deflector Shields and Lasers

Level 7 of my scrolling shooter game has laser satellite minions. The first type is the "waveshot" class. These minions shoot like other normal minions, except their bullets are wider, laser waves. Basically their bullets are just like the normal bullets in other levels, but rotated 90 degrees. The second minion class is the "reflector". These guys occasionally put up a laser shield in front of themselves and when a player bullet hits the shield, it is reflected back towards the player as an enemy bullet. The reflectors are pretty hard because they shoot their own bullets, plus reflect your own bullets back at you. It can get pretty hectic if there are a lot of reflectors going. Here are a couple screenshots of that level, still with one of my awful test backgrounds:
