Thanks for persevering with it! 😅
The first little area is a little obtuse for sure. I had wanted to have a little bit of a tutorial system, but I wasn't able to get around to implementing it, so there are definitely a couple sections which are more confusing than I had intended.
If anyone else gets stuck in that area, you just have to grab the blue power cell that's laying by the ship and use it on the power box by the building to the right. That will open the door and let you proceed.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'll definitely keep that in mind with the parallax in the future. It could definitely use some fine tuning.
