Game concept - Tank Machine

Description

A few concept sketches of a tank-like walker mecha from a Flash game idea I came up with recently. A top-down shooter / adventure game, the basic idea is that the player controls the direction the tank walks in with the arrow keys and aims using the mouse (with the upper turret tracking the cursor). The machine has mounts for two weapons, which can be swapped to make any combination at the command centre - everything from pulse guns to machine guns to missile launchers to laser beams, etc. Each mouse button controls one of the guns, and pressing both buttons at once fires a special combo weapon (unique to each weapon pairing).

I've got no idea what I'm going to call this machine, the game, or even the hero character who pilots it. I may just leave the pilot nameless, or let the user name him. If I ever get my copy of Flash working again, I'll see if I can get this idea off the ground.

Dude, love the designs.

If your thinking of names, just call the whole thing Tank Machine. It has a wonderful ESL vibe that matches your idea for the Hero (call him Hiro, yes its overdone, but its classic)
