How does damage work?

I dont really understand what causes damage and dont see anything in the menus that explain it.

you cause damage on an interval to anything that is inside your target box, and I believe every object that you hit hits back.

interesting, yea it seems random I cannot figure out what causes my health to go from full to nothing very quickly.

Hit something, take damage. The longer you live, the more damage enemies deal to you. And the way the game works, that can indeed mean a 1 shot death, depending on how far you are in the tech tree.

The nodes you hit, hit back. The upgrades are to mitigate the damage they cause which is why bosses kill you super quickly
