Wow! The game is awesome. Very good polish for a jam. And lovely pixel art!
P.S. And I like the fact I can run it on my Linux machine :)

Thank you for your feedback. I know that the bug is annoying. As well as the user interface interaction is not very clear. But please consider that it was made within 72 hours and a lot of time went into graphics and balancing tests.
The highest level a player has reached yet was 23, as far as I know. The trick is to reassign the crew regularly. Also they will stop work when they´ve got hitten (which was more or less intended).
If you want a more polished version, follow me and stay up to date.
The 50 coins item is a stats upgrade. It will lead to more repairing power, more damage at the cannons and less damage taken while steering thru rough sea.
My guys getting hit and stopping work was probably a big part of it and it makes sense, even if it wasn't communicated too clearly. I don't think I have the mouse dexterity to constantly keep reassigning people though.
I hope I didn't come off as too harsh. I full well know the reality and limitations of a game jam, which are even more harsh when you're a solo developer (at least Ludum Dare has the 48 hour compo for solo entries as well as the 72 hour jam for any entries).

I am sorry to disappoint you. But as you can see both jams had the same time line and it is not prohibited to participate in more than one jam. Your aggressive behavior against other indie game devs, and FOSS community, shows me that you are not into the scene and may never will. If you have concerns about the plausibility of my submission, deliver a proof.
So anyhow here are the facts:
- OMG! Buccaneer is submitted to OpenJam and GDQ One Mechanic Game Jam (That´s where the OMG comes from in the name)
- GDQ One Mechanic Game Jam 2 was on October 6-8th
- Open Jam was also on October 6-8th
Also, when I have a look at your submission I could easily say that I have spend more time on my game than you.
There's a big difference between submitting something you've made beforehand versus submitting something that was made during the actual jam, or perhaps even better made for multiple jams that happened to be at the same time. While his code repository history isn't the most informative, that along with the fact that it says "... Edit: Seems like the post was cut here for some reason. I just wanted to point out that the repo and the game page have the same dates for when they became available.
I understand being frustrated about someone cheating in a honor based event like a game jam, but false accusations aren't much fun either.
I realized my mistake after his response. I didn't mean to diminish your game at all, it actually is quite fun. It reminds me of ftl. I should not have accused you of not making it in the time frame. I was just a little angered that you submitted it to two game jams. Although it isn't in the rules the people running this event said they would add that as a rule next time. I also thought that the other jam you submitted it to took place before this one. That is why I came off so strong. Hope your game does well!

Well, the UI might not be the best :D On the right side you can select the pirates by clicking on their panel
