It looks like it's about 30.87 MB to download, so might take a little longer to load than some other games.
But also it is kind of demanding graphics-wise for a browser game. It runs poorly on both my 12-year-old laptop and computer that has a great CPU but with a passively-cooled GPU. If you see your spaceship the Helix Ark changing direction constantly, I'd recommend finding a computer with better graphics to play it on for the best experience.
(Spoiler warning): After surviving 50 cycles and reaching the destination planet, is there any more story after that if I chose to keep playing? If not maybe we can get a some more victory text after surviving 50 cycles. Suggestion 1: Add a victory screen with some story like, "After a long journey, you and the crew of the Helix Ark have arrived at your destination. With hard work and a bit of luck, it may provide nourishment and protection for your people."
Suggestion 2: Also what do the Relays do exactly? They help you reach your destination faster, right? Maybe the game can calculate how long it took you to reach the destination and use that as your score. The shorter the travel time, the better the score. This will make the Relay a more attractive upgrade.
Your spaceship, the Helix Ark, controls itself. When it kills something in combat, you get an upgrade you can place somewhere on the field. The placement of most upgrades does not seem to matter with the exception of the Meteorite Cluster. Meteorite Cluster can only be placed on the path of the Helix Ark. It has a change to damage your hull, but it's a good upgrade. Your ship will heal equal to half its cycle when it reaches its homeworld, so you might want to plant your Meteorite Cluster placement around your ships health relative to its distance from the homeworld. If you survive 50 cycles, you reach the destination planet and win.
I right-clicked it to load the frame in its own window without all the other stuff. This also fixed the centering problem, but you can also scroll horizontally to fix the centering.
Well, it's fixed now! And just looked at the other comments on what we're supposed to do...
The white words in the initial instructions has 0 contrast with the white ring around the center of the galaxy or whatever, and also low contrast with the bright text box, unfortunately.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing.

Off-center in Firefox here, as well, let alone that all that loads is the container.
[Edit] It took a minute, but finally loaded. Still off-center in browser window.
Game off-center in Firefox? Info in top right blocked by Game rating buttons and stuff.

Seems pretty clear instructions at least!
