Firstly, the graphics are cute and I love them. The gameplay is fun, although it can get a little tedious. I am really looking forward to what you accomplish in the future.

This was basically pretty fun, but really slow at least in the beginning. The game kept crashing on me on level 2 so I couldn't really see if it takes off after that.
Capturing the islands was a bit boring since you just sit there capturing. The enemies were also really easy to fight. I think the control scheme was basically a neat idea, but I got disoriented with the mouse movement several times. It should probably be a relative motion instead of an absolute one, so that if I flick my mouse to the right, my ships turns right.
Also the standalone version wouldn't run even though I do have Java 6 installed. Got the error "Could not create the Java virtual machine."
I really like the way the cannons work, it definitely adds more strategy to the game! The ship is perhaps a bit too slow in the beginning.
The web version didn't work for me, but the downloadable version worked fine. I really enjoyed playing this game and it got me playing for much longer than I wanted to. :)
The web version did not work at all, the downloadable version needs to be in a folder hierarchy without spaces in the folder names to work (crap java crap).
Anyhow, a Pirates game! Weird that almost nobody went for that. Works nicely, although runs at rather constant 12 FPS. It seemed a bit easy, but I'm sure that can be remedied with more enemy types (cannons from islands and such). Good game!
Really enjoyable. The gameplay was a bit slow, and I wouldn't want to lose that feel for the combat but if maybe there's a way to preserve that and still improve the pacing.
The WASD firing was really confusing, I often fired the wrong way when I was sailing down. I'd almost prefer the mouse and keyboard be swapped.
Still, great game, different and fun. I really enjoyed this one.
I can see this being a pretty fun multiplayer game.
The gameplay is fun, Could do with more variation though.
You have a massive memory leak somewhere. I was able to get to level four only by giving java more memory.
