This game is actually reasonably doable, once you know the right strategy.
Initially I was blazing away, killing everything in sight. I'd always get overwhelmed right before getting the mini-gun, around 40-45 minerals.
But then I began to develop my "farm bugs" strategy. The little bug-aliens are only slightly faster than you, and they move in a very predictable way. It's easy to move around them in gradual circles without getting hit, and it only gets easy when there are a lot of them. (They get in each other's way.) If you use only accurate weapons (basically, not the shotgun,) and kill everything that *isn't* a bug, eventually bugs will spawn to fill in the gaps. You spend most of the game not shooting, leading your collection around. And it's easy to park the swarm on the rocks by your ship, if you need to get more health.
For fun, I killed my swarm at 100 minerals to see what what happen. I got overwhelmed in seconds. I don't think this is winnable any other way. :|
