Not a bad start, but not much decision making in the game itself. It'd be nice if I had different enemies I could deal with in different ways, or a resource I could spend that was more mid-term than my reactor's health.

I also was confused about the health bar, was that my health bar or the reactor's? If it was mine, I didn't see a need to not take damage except avoiding stuns, and if it was the reactor's, it still exploded when the bar was fairly full.

The end of the game is kinda a stat check, "did you avoid enough reactor damage early", since you're not going to be able to clear all the mobs. Kinda felt bad to lose at the end for mistakes I didn't know I was making at the start, y'know?

But I think with this architecture you can probably make a pretty fun game with few changes.
