interesting , reminds me of an old game i once made. it needs some sound tho.
I could run it by downloading the folder and dragging the .swf file into my browser. Maybe posting the link to the .swf file directly will make it easier to run in the browser?
The game is a neat take on the theme. I had a little big of trouble choosing the right cannon to fire in the heat of battle, but once I got used to it I had more success taking out the other ship.
I was confused at first as to what ship was actually mine. There were a few mechanics that weren't clearly explained, and some even now I still am not sure about. The movement of the ship, once I understood who I was, felt nice.
It's good you put a controls menu in there - that's something we forgot to do for ours. I wasn't able to figure out which ship as was at the beginning, and until seeing the control screen it wasn't clear whether my input was doing anything or what. I'd say the main thing to work on is feedback ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg )
There's room for improvement, but it runs and it's a function game ;)
