I may not be the target audience. I skip literally basically every "read-this-lore-box to know about the world or this character", and most of the cutscenes in every game I play.
I tried to read most of your lore tho! (sorry, still skipped some, not sorry ;)
... But heres what I feel:
-suuper cute pixel art, outlines on characters make everything clear as day
-movement good, toggle to run extra good (why do i have stamina!? just let me run forever and walk when i want to. Or make the stamina bar fill up in seconds, maybe after a short initial delay after I stop using stamina)
-those ceiling-fan-shadows are dope! I want more of that and make them BIGGERR! (And then maybe spin real slow if they are really big)
-unplayable area vs gameplay-rooms, maybe just flat-black for background instead of floor tiles
After the beginning i got left in the big main-research-area where dudes and droids kept shooting at me. I didn't have a way to fight back and I couldn't find much to do there. Felt like you ran out of time there or I missed a weapon or something before so I quit there.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. Colors, characters, environment objects looked excellent and fitted together well. The look reminds me of Super Time Force Ultra. A fun shooter with a twist and some nice, crisp, vibrantly vivid pixel art! Check that out if you havent!
