Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.

I bought the version from LGP. The game has several nasty bugs, with crashes already reported to LGP and never fixed. Is this version a "polished" version ? I was unable to finish the last level due to the crash I encounter just before fighting the final boss
Yes, this version is considerably better than the LGP one.
Shadowgrounds stopped working after updateing from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04.
It claims that it won't find "libglade-2.0.so.0". But this library is indeed at "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglade-2.0.so.0".
I can't get either Shadowgrounds or Shadowgrounds Survivor to un on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. I get:
~/desura/common/shadowgrounds$ ./shadowgrounds-bin
./shadowgrounds-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It works, if you follow this:
Steamcommunity.com
and install the missing 32bit-Libraries on a 64bit system.
They claim to have fixed up a "lib" issue in the latest update.
It's not.
EDIT: just realised the update was probably never posted.
Any idea when the update will be posted?
Bought this a few days ago and after a few hours of messing around with the Libs folder i can finally run the config program but have to use terminal and sudo for settings to save, game now loads and intro plays, But it always crashes at the same place just as the intro go's into 3D and the man climbs out from under the van then touches his shoulder the game freezes and i have to control + alt + F3, then login and sudo reboot .
Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 32 bit
AMD Athlon II x2 250 3.0 64
ATI Raiden HD 6870
4 GB Ram
Onboard Sound
Can some one help or is this just one of those old games that's not going to play nice with Xubuntu and my hardware?
Maybe have a look at this?

I have a very similar system and it works fine for me.
