GamePlay Mechanics:

Sheild - Activates Shield, Default is 6 seconds and can be upgraded.
Beam - Activates Beam, Default is 6 seconds and can be upgraded, Beam Ship doesnt have this secondary fire button

Hyper - Collect Falling reactors (Green Squares) to charge the Hyperbar in the bottom left, once charged the enemies will enter a frenzy state and start shooting double bullets.
