Yay, something that can be played! I'd not worry about the autofire, immediately, going pew, pew, pew, pew is fun!
I did get a little confused with the control scheme, I wasn't expecting the arrow keys to resolve into headings. That is, now, to completely turn clockwise 360 degrees from heading towards the top of the screen, you press right, down, left, up. You basically have to switch to the other keys once that heading is hit. My initial assumption was that I'd just be able to hold right.
Either way, doing good!
