Please read the description or the game will probably be confusing for you!

In this game you have to destroy Alien portals in order to advance through the 3 levels while defending your spawn room.

Aliens spawn at the portals every 25 turns and go straight for the room that you spawned in. You lose if your health reaches 0 OR if alien touches the spawn point (you could say that you have to defend one room, eh?). Also you can regenerate health if at the end of the turn you are standing on spawn point.

I'd rather see you finish easier game than not finish at all so if you feel that the game is a bit too hard you can modify maps to include less spawners. Or you can delete all of them and just add pre-spawned aliens that you have to kill to advance. Or do something else! You can even make the game harder for yourself if you wish :P
