------------ How your submission matches the theme

- When shields are down...
> You can see farther out in space
> Observe enemies and their weapon range
> You can scan and find Power cells which are otherwise invisible
> Eyorot's eye is exposed, making the ship more vulnerable to attacks
> Your speed is reduced

- When Shields are up....
> You can travel much faster
> Shield protects you and reduces damage
> You can use your shield to attack smaller enemies as a ramming weapon
> Eyorot's eye is covered, so it can't scan for power, can't see far and can't see enemy weapon range

- Power is your only resource.
> You spend it in each face off with enemies
> You use power to arm your primary weapon

Hi Tsun, thanks for playing and for the feedback!!

The idea behind the split is that one can choose a style of gameplay as your primary style and use the other one as the secondary style. The two modes compliment each other as there are strengths and weaknesses in both.

For example, you don't need to use your primary weapon in fast paced combat. Shields up and then you can just ram into enemies and do damage to them. The primary weapon can be charged to annihilate enemy bases from far.

I still need to put in a lot of work into balancing of the gameplay, add few more fun features.... Hopefully soon!

Cheers!
