Flash Game Pick: Iron Dukes (One Ton Ghost)
Iron Dukes is basically a collection of three different mini games, repeated with increasing difficulty as your three crew members gain seaworthy skills by equipping an odd array of treasures and loots.
Fights involve shooting at objects flashing red for maximum damage, while diving requires the player to left click on a safe spot shown on the right of the screen as they sink further into the sea in search for treasure chest. Clicking on a skull incurs a health penalty.
This demo features one playable level only. A finalist in the IGF Web Browser category.

Indeed. This demo is nautical, yet nice, and has a salty tang.
Great writing and enemy design. The minigames in general will hopefully be a little more varied in the final product, but it's more than a little thematically pleasing. Spiffing sense of humor.

Somehow I found myself playing for quite a while. All the items at the shop are fun to browse.
Shame that it is in Flash...

I am interested in knowing the release date of this as well. Fun and hilarious little game, this one.
A small suggestion is being able to buy cargo space upgrades, as after a while, the 6 spots are filled too fast while going for the area boss
