Seems like shields don't work? I can see the shield bar but when getting hit Hp still goes down while the shield bar never moves

Hey mraider, 

To clarify, was the shield bar dark blue? If so, this means that your shield needed to recharge. This happens automatically after a few seconds, provided you do not take damage. If you take damage, the timer resets and you have to wait again for the shield to regenerate.

Thank you for the feedback!

I must have missed it entirely because I see the brighter blue now. Can't say I like having a "full" bar that looks like shields be actually empty.

No worries, I understand the confusion.

I'll keep this feedback in mind for future games.
