Probably did it wrong, but I just laid on the ground the entire time until I last group of personas spawned.
I skipped the tutorial thinking it would just drop me into the action, but looking at the screenshots I skipped most of the content. My recommendation would be to prevent idiots like me from breaking your narrative loop and just drop us right into the story. The heroine was cute and I very much liked the presentation. I hope the next improvement is to find voice acting to give the action more weight, to compliment the sound effects.

Thanks for playing!
The persona fight is a one time story encounter outside the normal gameplay loop, it has special rules so there isn't really a wrong way to do it.
The prologue you skipped is basically just a hallway that tells you how to run/jump/shoot and what the different resource bars on the HUD mean, some unfinished story content, and then a tutorial on how to upgrade Nxia and unlock abilities. The animated screenshots are from the 4th boss fight "Cobalt".
Voice acting definitely on the todo, but probably gonna be one of the last things that get added, since the story content isn't done yet. ^_^
