[edit] Gameplay

Stomp through the enemy opposition in your very own assault mech! Equipped with a laser beam, Vernier jump-jets, auto-targeting, and automatic cooling system, this mech is a force to be reckoned with. Of course, the enemy doesn't know that yet, do they? Teach 'em a lesson in threat assessment!

[edit] Trivia

Many of the stages' names seem to be named after songs by the rock band Rush - for example, "Distant Early Warning" and "Subdivisions".
