great little game and an idea i haven't seen a lot here, it's a bit random and i couldn't find any viable strategies but i get what you were going for, good job!

Her last penny with jamYeah unfortunately there aren't any reliable strategies, I think the beginning when they all cram together is partly to blame, if a speedy one is caught at the back they have no chance. My original idea was to make it a management game where you have a team of crabs and you have to select the best one for the race, I might give that a try for future versions.
Anyway, thank you for playing! :)
Excellent idea fitting the theme! But some crabs are clearly cheating. Is it part of the game or a bug ?

SHEEP IT !Really cute little game! The crabs are adorable. Good thing you posted the post jam version, the original didn't work for me.

Scrap Boy - GMTK Jam VersionLovely game and I had loads of fun watching the little crabs crash into one another for my entertainment. The only issue I found is that sometimes the crabs find ways to go past the borders of the track and land on another part of it, either giving them a extra boost or just flat out making them restart the race. Again, it was a really solid game that was fun from beginning to end :)

Runaway TruckI love how such a simple game depicts the theme so perfectly I really liked it <3. Clive is a cheating bastard and he should be discualified for Crab Racing Season 2021.

REBEL DUCK: FIGHTERSUnfortunately lots of people have been experiencing a loading issue relating to a font I used.
I've made a very quick fix and simply removed the font that you can try here: https://nylepudding.itch.io/crab-racing-post-jam
This fix was done after the jam was over, so please only rate for my original submission. Thank you. :)
I've also uploaded a post-jam version without the fonts, it doesn't look very good, but it works! :)

Too bad about not working in browsers! I was hoping to try it. I'm on a Mac with Chrome, same "Unsupported OpenType signature To d" error.
