My bad for not reading the instructions underneath the game, but I struggled to see if what I was doing was having any effect on the game. Very good environment with a very alien like forest of metal. Sound effects fit very well and the overall feel of the game is enjoyable. Struggled with understanding what was hurting me and how to overcome the crisis and win the game.

Yeah i could have explained it a bit better.
If you turn on the reactors for shields your shield will go up, you die if your ship health goes down. Shields basically take all the damage before it goes to health.
To win you need to turn on the cannons. The tricks is to not overheat reactors while you do that.
Basically you need to monitor hud in top left at all times
