Cultists on ICE by Pusheeneiro
Have you ever wondered what an ice show and a demonic cult have in common?
Thanks to "Cultists on ICE" you can find the answer to this now!
Take on the role of the ruler of the cultists, who create and manages them so that the lines of blood flowing from them summon a demon straight from hell. See how the lack of friction makes it more difficult to perform a dark ritual and complete 20 levels of increasing difficulty.
Once you're done, post your best time. Maybe you'll be the one to claim the title of demon summoner with the most grace on ice.

@mcmuniz Thanks for your comment, the old newgrounds games were one of my inspirations.
@figaro Thanks for feedback, I use ice for some new style of play, the puzzles are especially simpler to equalize the level of combat with the map XD
Great example of taking a simple concept and doing it well.
There was a good amount of variety in the levels.
Soundtrack was an absolute banger.
Loved the design of the little cultists.
Overall amazing work!
Nice entry overall :)
The bouncy guys.... little shits. Great sound and graphics :D.
I had a bug multiple times where a cultist (or sometimes multiple) couldn't die anymore, but could also not spawn any blood lines. One time I couldn't finish the level because of this and had to restart the game
I see this error, but I don't know how to reproduce it.
This game was supposed to be frustrating, but not because of bugs XD
The levels were frustrating enough, especially these bouncy blue things. They made me _very_ angry...
Music was great too!
I also found a bug:
I see it several times, but I don't know why XD
The ice was kinda unpredictable, the controls were very unresponsive, but I can see it was the intent and the chaos was kinda nice touch :)
Thanks for stopping by at my stream!
The gameplay is great, but I gave up on the level where you need 6 blood lines and spawn points are separated horisontally by spikes in the centre. It became too difficult for me at that point and I've already played for 20 minutes by that time ^_^' Guess I'm not much of a figure skater xD
Anyway, good job!
Unfortunately, the cultists forgot to put on their ice skates. It's a total slip-and-slide affair. However, it is a game with a lot of potential for puzzles!
Despite all the rage inducing parts this game is bringing in, it's very solid and I love the idea! Shame I wasn't able to beat it, but this slime is really just messing up everything.
