Anyone play web games?
Discussion
A friend and I have been working on a web game for the past 3 or 4 months, and we're trying to get more people to test it out for us. It's a Strategic Roleplaying game, and should run fine on any browser, with no downloadable components .
The game's called Interstellar War: Fleet Battles, and you can have a go at it here: http://battles.interstellar-war.com
Before I get pulled up for advertising, I want to stress that this isn't a commercial venture, it's our hobby. Ultimately it's got to pay for itself, but we don't plan on charging players any fees.

Quick user guide:
* Start by entering the game (click "Play Fleet Battles" over on the left).
* Go to the starbase screen (click "Starbase" at the top of the screen).
* Comission a new ship, and give it a name (choose a ship type from the menu on the right).
* Click "Launch" at the top right of the screen.
* Get used to moving around. Click somewhere on the tactical display, and the click "Move to Location" at the top right. If you've clicked a planet, a starbase or another ship, then the link may say "Move to Orbit", "Move to Dock" or "Move to Intercept" respectively.
* When you're ready for a fight, flick on a Solar Worm on the tactical display.
* Move towards it (click "Move to Intercept" on the top right of the screen).
* Click "Open Fire" next to your weapons when you are in range (on the right of the screen).
* The enemy will fight back! Keep on firing your guns until it is dead.
* If your ship has been damaged, return to a starbase to conduct repairs.
* if another player attacks you, return to your starbase - it will defend you. If you're feeling cocky, fight it out with them!
* If your ship takes a critical hit to the reactor or the engines, you may find yourself "dead in space" - Click "Starship" at the top of the screen, and the click "Escape Pod" to return yourself to base.
* Don't attack Tsothogga on your own, you have been warned!
* There's built-in help on each screen, so pick up tips as you explore the game. You can also learn a lot by talking to other players - click "Communications" over on the left.
I'm acutely aware that the User Interface leaves a bit to be desired. Intuitive it ain't. Feedback and suggestion on it would be very welcome on the game message boards.
