Awesome Mechwarrior-like! I noticed that there were gamepad controls when I accidentally moved with it, but I didn't end up using them. I wasn't sure where to find more info on them or how it would even work out with so many buttons that do things. I really enjoyed this, but I do second the critique on needing a more gradual speed increase/decrease. I also think enemies turn around pretty quickly compared to the player. But overall, this is really cool!
Oh yeah, and nice intro!
