  Okay, so I just made a quick example using two top-down characters using the default 8-direction control. One of them is set to the default arrow controls, and the other one has default turned off and is using the keyboard + simulate.

  Okay, I don't have a great solution for you. This one works but it's a bit of a cheat and it isn't as smooth.

  I used a particles object and zeroed out all the random behaviour, gave the particles gravity, and then positioned it to my draggable circle.

  It takes a bit of tweaking to get it to work right since the particles and the physics engine use different scales for velocity and gravity.

  Oh! One other thing. Right now the player has to be overlapping the turret for it to work.

  Okay! New version inbound in t-minus 5, 4, 3, 2......

  BLAM.

  So move your character with the arrow keys and jump in or out of a turret using the space bar.

  I put two turrets in there so you could see how the min and max values could be set on a per-turret basis.

  Okay, here is an example that allows you to place a turret anywhere on the screen and have it limited by min and max rotation range. It's saved as the latest beta version.

  Auto fire, or by key press?

  What type of control do you want? Do you want the turret to point at the mouse or turn with the keyboard?

  Hotline Miami is just a great game. I prefer it with mouse and keyboard, but it is good with twin sticks, too.

  Hahaha, ouch! I put it under the "Samples" area on the arcade and currently have a rating of 1 star. Sounds about right.

  This weekend FGL had a 48 hour comp where the theme was, "Fool me twice". I didn't get much time to work on it, but still had a lot of fun.

  You can play the very short, very easy game here:

  I have one. I love The Walking Dead (I got it with the bundle) and Persona 4. I also love that they have so many PSP games, and I spend most of my time on the Vita playing Carnage Heart.

  You could try installing VirtualBox on OSX, you'd need a Windows license but it should work.
