Hey so this is actually pretty cool! I really like the concept, just being able to watch your guys fight. Not sure if they are supposed to bounce off each other but I think that's kinda charming! I think it's pretty impressive what you pulled off during the jam. With this being expanded on and polished up a bit I bet something super great could be made from here! Also I thought handing the gladiator a bow was really funny because then they demolish everyone!! Completely unstoppable!!
As you mentioned there are bugs. A couple of the obvious ones I notice:
1. I was only able to give gladiators the bow. I could pick up the sword/bomb but couldn't hand it to the gladiators like I could the bow
2. After the restarting the level (both just from the menu and closing the game and coming back) I now spawn on the right side of the sword/bomb and not next to the button, and it didn't seem like I could hop over to the button to spawn more gladiators.
Overall though I think this is a solid base for something really good. I think you did a great job on the whole thing in the time you had. Too bad it didn't get uploaded in time as I think other people would have liked to try it, but there's always other jams (like I notice there's a Jam for updated Jam games here if you want to enter it here for some people to look at "https://itch.io/jam/post-jam-jam-7")
Anyways good luck with your future game deving!
