I see an ant game, I play the ant game.

I absolutely love this idea, ant races where you purchase upgrades and let it play out.

However, the game was very buggy for me (and not just because of all the ants). Ants would fly out of the arena and run off into the great beyond (although this was quite funny). It was hard to follow the races (a top down view and position indicators might have been nice), and the standing at the end didn't seem to make sense, since some of the ants had ran off the arena like I said, and they came first...

So great concept, and actually I loved the art, but sadly I couldn't play due to the bugs

Hello! 
I'm so glad you liked the concept!

The ants moving out of bounds was actually a post-jam bug fix haha. They were getting caught on each other at the end of the match so it was softlocking for some people, to avoid adding more content and potentially breaking the rules of "adding content post jam" I chose to make any bug fixes the quickest solution possible (In this case, the ants stopping at the end of the race was delayed, so they would be out of the way.) (Also this was the funniest solution; other potential solutions included turning off collision / deleting ants)

Thankyou so much for the suggestions, I definitely want to take another go at the camera system! And refine the placement system so you can get a better idea of where ants are in real time. I hope you had a great jam!
