I liked the "media industry damage" tally at the end, and the choice of using the same "pirate flag" as life meter for the other ships.\r\rThe short pause after three or so shots was a good idea too, otherwise it would be a matter of spamming cannonballs all day. \r\rThe only suggestion I have is to draw the cannonballs in front of the black sail -- especially the ones fired by the enemy ship."},{"author_name":"suve","author_uid":"18843","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 2:49am","epoch":1355798640,"text":"I laughed out loud seeing this. Great, humorous idea. The gameplay itself wasn't anything special, but the sheer fun of being Captain Torrent made it definitely worth the time."},{"author_name":"Gazok","author_uid":"6609","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 7:32am","epoch":1355815620,"text":"Very nice idea, and great graphics. I seem to be able to get cannonballs to fire stupidly fast at low angles, though. But then I guess pirates can break the laws of physics as well as international copyright."},{"author_name":"nickworks","author_uid":"18927","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 8:44am","epoch":1355819940,"text":"Awesome.

Being able to shoot incoming cannonballs makes it kinda interesting :)\r\rIf you don't hear sound\/music, try Chrome or Safari. They only support MP3 and Firefox only supports OGG due to patent BS, so we poor HTML5 devs have to transcode both.

Also, It could have been more difficult. (Aside from) I noticed when you shoot directly sideways, the cannon balls shoot out really fast and far, making you able to get an enemies health down before it got on screen."},{"author_name":"Volute","author_uid":"11243","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 12:20am","epoch":1355962500,"text":"This one made me laugh !
