The idea is not bad, but the randomization of scenario sometimes prevented me of being able to navigate on all the water. Also it is hard to know when are you pillagin or not towns (i guessed it is when you hit them with a cannon ball). Despite of that, I like too much Pirate games for not liking this hehehehe. Liked the graphic style :D"},{"author_name":"Encircle","author_uid":"5123","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1356181800,"text":"Pretty unfinished, but I liked graphics."},{"author_name":"Cyboot","author_uid":"10242","time":"Dec 23, 2012 @ 12:34pm","epoch":1356265740,"text":"I agree with previous comments, it could be a good starting point for a bigger game.
