Loved the concept, although in the beginning it was quite frustrating as, no matter what slug I chose and the points I bet, I always got the slug that had its speed equal to 30% of the others, being completely "decapitated" :D

I also got the same issue as Lizard, where, the first time I got to win, one of the slugs got stuck xD 

Additionally. I just missed some kind of music during the race, and would suggest you to add a time limit to the race, to avoid the issue with the slugs getting stuck, as well as when there is a extremely slow slug as my first few :D

It simple but it works fine, here are a list of suggestion that came to my mind while playing :

 - music, with a game concept like that you absolutely need some kind of silly background music, i see you are using godot, ovani sound plugin would allow you to easily setup music with intensity levels so the music intensity could increase when someones close to win

- the font, its really hard for me to read the font, you can probably improve that

- i had slugs that had some insane speed increase sometimes, don't know if it was a bug or a sprint. If it was a sprint, you could add some visual to the slug (at least modulating it in red or whatever)

- Im betting points but i don't know how many i have in total

- if you want to expend the concept a bit further : give us an ecury to manage so we have our slugs, we can train them, feed them for stats,

- give abilities the player can use to affect the race

But overall, good job and nice idea :)

Thanks for the feedback! i didn't have time to do any music, so i didn't add any.
About the random sprint, it's a feature. when it gets closer to a slug, it will get faster. I also added a mechanic that the slug the player chose will have a slight chance of being way faster than normal.

Did I ever think I would enjoy betting on virtual slug racing? No

Did I have a great time betting on virtual slug racing? More than I had any right to!
