I can barely read the text you have highlighted within the green and red bars in your post above.
I tried playing the game and was immediately confused about what I should be doing.
There is no indication of what keys control what or a tutorial of any kind.
Work on having a clear objective for the player to meet and a means to accomplish that. Observe how other games work and try to learn from that. Don't stop making games.

This is a really rough demo. The first thing I'd ask for is probaby for you to rebind the keys. Pressing down to fire is a real chore.
Perhaps you should change the aim, so that you aim with your mouse.
