All music, art, and sound effects created from scratch by a core team of six (plus a fiddler and some pirate choristers) in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 49: Unstable.

The web build had audio issues, so for now we only have downloadable for Windows and Mac.

This is so cool! I loved the song playing in the background, the art style is cute and the mechanics that make the ship unstable are really funny!

The art is extremely well done! Really nailed the papery look. I also really loved the music -- so cool that you all made this for the jam. The gameplay was really funny and I had a blast teeteering on various objects. Nice work!

Excellent ! You need to play this game for the music by itself (and the voices)! same is true for graphisms and ideas ! Really impressed by your game. Thank you

I'm so glad I got to keep my long friend. The music, art, and design of this are all fantastic, and when the gameplay got a bit tedious at points, there are even the funny lines of dialogue to keep the player entertained. There's no way this game isn't getting ranked pretty high.

I love this game! It is very fun and atmospheric. The music is just beautiful, it kind of keeps you in the mood. The graphics are simple, but very cute and expressive. Even the font is perfectly matched. Maybe I would complicate the last levels a little. Developers, you are super.

This was hilarious to play – the graphics, music, dialogue, and general feel of the game work really well together. It’s amazing that you actually composed a sea shanty for a Ludum Dare entry and I like that you included the jukebox feature.

The mac build seems to have incorrect file permissions – I had to run `sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Downloads/v1.4-bugfix-mac.app` before I could open it.

@dalep Thanks for the heads up about the mac build! None of us actually have a mac, but I created one so a friend of mine could play it. I'll add your command to the download instructions in case anyone else needs it.

That was GREAT!!! Loved it! The only feedback I could give is the movement of the pirates, it was very easy to get them to slide to the end you didn't want, but then thats part of the challenge. Well Done!

This game reminds me a lot of my own submission.

I'm impressed their ship could remain intact when balanced on a point. They clearly take upkeep on their ship seriously. They're good pirates, and I'm glad I could save them from Davy Jones' locker.

Brow this game is amazing, i love the art, music, the jokes. The gameplay is simple but very well developed.It has a beginning, middle and an end, and it's perfect by me.

Great idea. I loved the little big planet type feel and the art is, as usual, AMAZING! The dialog was funny and the game hit the theme very well. A good example of how to scope a LD game. Great job! (I made it to the sea monster, but I'm not good enough to get past).

So far I've only played two games with just the default options but wow, very good deduction game. It has the appeal and game play of The Resistance with the voting mechanics of Werewolf or Mafia. They have added secret objectives as well to get a little of Bang! Mixed in. I love a game with a voting mechanic where you stay actively involved and you can get [easy outfit ideas](https://gachaclub.io/knowledge-base/gacha-club-outfits-incredible-outfit-ideas-you-must-try/).
