What's up with the scanlines and the struts - is the front of the cockpit a window, or three oddly-shaped screens?

This is how I am going to be doing the enemy graphics in this game. If I want to get this game done in time there's no way I am going to make fully colored AND animated sprites. Besides I think it looks good and this way I can possibly add a lot more different enemies faster. Pishtaco: They are screens.

Justification for the red is that the computer does this to 'hostiles' to make them easier to spot, right?

The enemy faction has absolutely no sense of camouflage, or are overly confident that their favorite color will lead them to victory no matter how easy a target it makes them. (That, or they're aware that all mechs' crosshairs are red, and are hoping this will throw enemy fire off-aim if they can't see their crosshairs in a mass of enemies)

No, flames on the hood make you go faster.

I'll be VERY amused if the demo comes out and it turns out that the enemies are the white-cloud-shaped things. "WHY OH GOD THERE'S SO MANY WHY OH WHY"

So since it's LEGAL to work on the competition game in Finland now, here's a video. It shows everything I've done, which isn't much. I don't think I have that much of an unfair advantage over people who haven't started yet.
OH SH!T! That was pretty nice. This Cockpit compo is going to turn out to be great.

It's definitely going to have an old school feel. Plus it kind of reminds me of The Terminator. Keep it up. You could actually win this.

I laughed so hard during this paragraph. Nothing like super ego enemies.

You died once. ... Except I guess dying isn't implemented yet.
The health bar being on the right makes it hard to keep track of. But you did good implementing the whole 'bullet hell' thing well.
It looks awesome, though.

ElTipejoLoco: The bar to the right is for running. The three dots at the bottom are your health. I can see it could be hard to tell at first though.

Oh. Whoops then. What about the dots at the top? I didn't see them disappear when you killed the enemies, so I'm guessing they're not enemy health...
