How I accidentally stumbled upon the main mechanic
From the beginning, I wanted to do something with moving several characters at once and connecting them with lines.
When I started prototyping my idea, I accidentally set the physics parameters wrong and my prototype figures started moving as if they were driving on ice.
Then something dawned on me and I thought what if the cultists had to perform the summoning ritual on ice.
This is how Cultists on ICE were created, a game of considerable skill XD
