Your screenshots look gorgeous, and I'm impressed it is generated with LibGDX, but I have tried running the JAR and it just dies before anything launches.
hey same looks beautiful but instantly crashes when opened. I'm windows 7 64 bit
Screenshots look awsome, but it crashes on launch! :(
I'm running on Windows8 Java Version 7.
Crashes for me too, I get:

Thanks for all the bug reports! I've uploaded a newer version that should fix these problems. Please give it a go!
I tried it again, but performance isn't the best. It gets really slow after I start the first level. Looks cool though!
Realy good game It's an all stars !
I havent got any craches on win 7 x64
really interesting, very fun and pretty too.
the jar runs without problems on my windows 7 machine.
Worked for me on Win 7 x64 too. But more importantly, OMG SO PRETTY :3
Absolutely incredible visuals and mood. That's one charming game, congrats!
Hmmm I avoid most games that don't offer a web version but this one has me curious.
Added a video in case you cant play for some reason!

It crashed when the octopus appeared, looks pretty nice and it's fun to play.
lovely art, nice music and quite fun. Made it to voyage 8 before it crashed. Funny texts in between - the thing about the son ("...move on") made me laugh.
I always had to dive for the pirates - cannons didn't seem to help. Is that intended? If so, the angle in which your cannons fire seems random - coudln't recognize the pattern at least.
Great entry though - congrats!
Lovely game ! Maybe the interface could be slightly improved (like changing the police) and the overall purpose made clearer. Also I couldn't feel a real change in the levels difficulty. But firing canons on pirates is always a pleasure ;) Good job !
App crashed on 7th level.
But I think it's beautiful. Please, make post-compo version!
Really amazing graphics and a nice game to go with it :) Well done! I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 29 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/pi2GfgHfAZM
I love the submarine pirate ship, nice touch with the sonar ping. It lagged really badly for me and eventually crashed. Also my mouse wouldn't move while holding in a direction to move.
Beautiful game and great mood though!
The games closed several times when I played it. It still run in the task manager, but I can't find it. Good Game though. :)
Well, it's unplayable for me due to lags after I click on play :-(
Seems Macs are having a lot of trouble with it, I don't have access to one so I cant debug currently :(
Amazing job, the polish is just stellar! The graphics are beautiful, the theme was nicely integrated, and the sound was top notch. My only suggestion would be to consider giving the players a bit of time to float around during the start of each level, so we can prepare for battle as opposed to just being in battle. But that's just a nitpick thing, overall this was a fantastic entry. Well done!
I get invalid or corrupt jarfile for the Windows build, tried redownloading to no avail.
The graphics and music really sets the mood of your entry. I was having some fun until the game crashed unexpectedly, but with no error. It simply closed. :(. Despite that, awesome job!
Beautiful lighting effects and music, which combined, create a really nice chilled out pirate blaster.
The graphics are exquisite, the music and sounds are great, the gameplay is just a little flat.
Awesome game, everything just fits and creates a pleasant experience. Good job!
Beautiful game! Nice graphics and animations with all the details. It's fun to play, looks and feels very polished.
Crashes for me too... :)wish i could play#

from what I was able to play it was good - too bad it kept crashing on me (win764) - hope you keep working on this - added to my favorites
A fun little game, the feel of it is pretty fun. I'd prefer the game to restart on the level if you die rather than restart the whole game; I only got a few levels in and didn't really want to replay the first couple of levels over and over.
Really like this game. First time it closed on 5. Third time I got stuck on crates and the octopus and a ship took me out. I couldn't hit the ship because the oc was in the way and I couldn't move because the crates were jammed up. Still, very enjoyable game. Please continue working on and refining this. I think you have something good going on here.
Mac version started without any problem. Nice and polished game. It's fun to play. It took me some time to realise that LMB is not L, M and B on keyboard but LeftMouseButton. :D One of the best entries I rated so far. Good job!
The game is awesome, especially in graphics and audio. Perhaps some more game balance factors can be added in for further development, because submerging seems to be a bit OP to me.
Love the gameplay... reminds me afternoons playing monkey island ...
Great job with the audio and art.
let us be the pirates an take away goods from their 'rightful owners'
!
This is a fun concept. It needs a little more polishing though, as I was able to beat most of the game just by going underwater to pass all the bad guys.
Woooooo, fireworks!! Man... those graphics! And those particles... and you get more cannons as you progress, which means even more particles!! *-*
This game is beautiful! XD
The night/day cicle, the shadows and the reflection were also pretty good! Only the anti-alias of the ship wasn't nice, when not day time... but I can deal with that. XD
The music and sfx were really good and fitting. It's great to see a game this polished!
Also, it's really fun. Shooting things, with all this polish, is always fun.
This was simply awesome, so cute and so nicely done. Very smooth, I loved it!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Looks really good, but it crashes for me on startup. I'm running windows 8.1, if that helps.
