You can both download and play or play it straight from a browser, however if you are not playing it through an internet browser you will need to change the allowance settings so the game can communicate with my server (A popup will appear telling you how to do it)

Right now I'm negotiating with sponsors, they are interested, and many of them are asking for a price, but I don't know how much my game is worth, so I'm in a weak position. To rectify that, I'm waiting until another sponsor gives me an offer then pretty much auction it off.

That would be weird if you ask them to offer xP so yah hopefully another sponsor will offer and you can check. I know your game is worth allot cause it is well made.

You simply need to press the "Play" button in game and enter in a username, password and your email address (If you ever want a password change I'll only accept requests from the implemented email address) and you'll be thrown in game, which later you can save and then load.

I've had a very generous offer which I'm willing to take, however because the game is such a 'bandwidth buster' it raises an issue.
I'll be talking to them again tomorrow.

My game is referred to as a "Bandwidth Buster" because of it's large file size. Bandwidth is the term to describe the amount of kilobytes that can be transferred within a given period (Usually a month, check your internet provider). Since my game is 8.5 Mb with all graphics, if 100 people play it from X site, then X site has already uploaded 850Mb! There are different plans from different internet providers that harbor different caps for bandwidth, and different results for exceeding that limit. One of the most preferred consequence as to exceeding the bandwidth limit (There are two different limits, one for downloading and one for uploading I believe) is a simple transmission rate cap, which means the upload and download speed for X site is significantly lowered to an almost unbearable rate.

So as you can see, if just a mere 1,000 people play my game, they've already used up 8.5Gb of upload transmissions! Maple Vs Assassin alone gets 6,000 views per day, imagine that for "A Pirate's Fury" in a month? (6,000 * 31 * 8.5Mb) = ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE GIG!(1,581,000 Mb).

Let me know if I'm off on any calculation.
