Just to tell people, the ship always fires up and so it will probably be your own fault if your cannons fire the wrong way. Just a helpful hint

The battle concept highly resembles the one from Port Royale and some older games of that kind (by Ascaron). However, the movement of your ships looks more like that of a lawn mower- they are stupidly going down line by line and not even considering to actively aim for you or avoid a melee battle. Also, half of the times they sink their own ships because they don't consider avoiding friendly fire, too.
Final problem is the already mentioned thing with the side you shoot to, there really needs to be a way to set this.
On the other hand, I really liked to see how the damage done to the ship affected the cargo (for hostile ships), reloading speed and the cannons you can fire.
All in all, I will give it a 4/5, 3 for the concept and one "nostalgia bonus". If you do something to solve the problems I mentioned we can talk about adding one star to this rating.

Overall good...I see one massive problem though and that's the complete lack of knowing exactly which side your cannons will fire on, they'll fire from either side but you have no control over when so if you're trying to switch to the other side and fire from there you get boned as you go by because you don't know that TA-DA your cannons are going to fire on the wrong side of your ship...fix that and we'll be talkin.

DO NOT VOTE DOWN FOR NO BADGES! FOR A GAME TO GET A BADGE, THE RATING HAS TO BE AT LEAST 4.00 I THINK. SO DON'T VOTE DOWN FOR BADGES, VOTE UP! I'm just saying. Plz + so everyone can see.

I find the upgrades cannons, shot speed, crew, and turning to be the most helpful later on, when you are faced against many larger enemies. The power i like most would be calypso's, because not only does it push enemy ships away from you, it can also push back defeated ships to give you extra time to plunder them if you are too busy at the time it gets to the bottom. It also knocks enemy ships together, causing damage. I didn't really switch to downwards-fire too much, rather i turned my ship only slightly(almost up and down) angled towards an enemy at the bottom, and unleashed fury at their bow. 1 (or would it be 60?) hit K.O. every time, point blank. Great game, and it seriously needs badges, or a ship-creator to customize your ship's looks. 5/5

This looks like a fun and great game and all but it makes me angry that you only have ONE life. Other than that reminds me of pirates of the Caribbean. 4/5 :P

It's been a while but for those having trouble shooting your cannons only shoot to the top or bottom of the screen regaurdless of the ships direction.So if your moving towards the top and shooting to the left or right the cannons will only shoot out the side that will fire up wards unless you change it.You can do this by using the "v" key.In which case they will shoot downward or to the bottom of the screen.Hope this helps

fun game just i find it funny that people say this game is stolen well i doubt that FOG would steal this and if you knew anything about flash games and the internet you would realize that sites come out with games and then have them be playable on other sites thus giving up the right to 3rd party when sharing this game.again not stolen 5/5

People, please shut up about the badges! The game doesn't have Kongregate API, so it CAN'T have badges. Not it "Won't" have badges, or it "Doesn't" have badges, but right now, it CAN'T.

Add lots of cannons, increase cannon speed, decrease reload time and then keep space pressed as long as the battle lasts :)
