Thank you for your patience! :)

CONTROLS:
(W) or (Up Arrow) : Fire (hold for continuous)
(A) or (Left Arrow)  : Move Ship Left 
(D) or (Right Arrow) : Move Ship Right 
Boost - (spacebar or gamepad button) 
Boosting will temporarily shield the player's ship,
increase horizontal speed,
and increase the fire rate for the player,
but boosting can cause the ship to overheat,
and it will need to cool down before boosting again.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS:
Navigate outer space to find the levels!
Get the orb to the top!
The player has a shield that is reduced by enemies and bullets. 
The orb has energy that is depleted by enemy shots
and increased by player shots.
If the orb runs out of energy, it dies, and so does the player.
(a blinking red-orange orb has low energy, a blue orb has high energy)
If the orb falls to the bottom of the level, the player will die.
