Webgame Wednesday on Thursday: Captain Steelbounce

A pirate-themed mix of Pong, Arkanoid and good old-fashioned pinball, Captain Steelbounce puts you in charge of a tiny boat rebounding steel cannonballs into the wild blue yonder. Use them to destroy brick constructs, causing treasure chests full of booty to fall into your clutches. How many coins can you snag before time runs out, matey? It's hard to replicate the old paddle controller of arcades-gone-by, but Captain Steelbounce uses your mouse and a tight playing field to give those fine motor skills of yours a workout.
