The physics seem a bit "twitchy"... like momentum only seems to kick in after you've been moving for a few seconds.

Yeah, blame Sc's lack of a keydown method.

I recommend using mouse control then, that's how I got around it in Hacksilver.

Updated with mouse movement. Smooth as silk. (Link at the top)

You didn't use the new key commands?
It's like this:
if rightkey = 1 then...
You DON'T need to put it in the Key Down method, I think then it would only fire when Key Down does, which isn't smooth.
