I remember when they tested this on Mythbusters! It's a really nice theme interpretation. As for the gameplay it is simple and well done. Cool game!

Pretty cool and looks nice. Hits great to the theme.
Perhaps some more strategic choices would be nice though and perhaps the sun could move over time.

Nice game ! It goes really well with the theme.
But maybe it's too challenging ? Anyway, you had a good idea !

I really like the games theme :) Some feedback:

Its very hard to hit the ships when they are getting closer.

Its works to have all of the ships aligned in the back, one alternative might be to have the sea like a sphere and let the ships sail over the horizon. Like how you move in mario galaxy.

Also the sound effects are a nice touch.

Wow. Other than some fine tuning this is really nice.

This fits the theme really well.
The sound effects were really cheesy tho

The water shader and the ships are very good looking. Also love how you stuck to the theme. The only problem is that the collision is bit problematic at times, if you aim at the sail it won't detect the rest of the ship after that. Good job!

Cool idea!
Could've used som kind of fog that would've hidden the fleet on the horizon, feels kinda lame when you see one ship attacking at a time. I want more effects and more flames!

Wooh! 3D, ooo, ahhh!
Nice ships and sound effects of them collapsing.
And you've got hands! Fog, the sun, and more!
On my PC (that gets dismal Frames per second in many games)I got a high score of 11!
Good use of theme!
