Everything should be self explanatory but I'd like to mention your energy, which is the long bar to the right of the SCROLL. You start with full energy meaning that the arrow is next to the MAX on the right. As you play the game, that arrow will gradually move to the left and when it reaches the MIN, you'll die and have to start again. You have to collect energy tanks to make the arrow move to the MAX again.
