I can't seem to move with WASD??
Super fun! It felt like one of the games I would have gotten addicted to in elementary school, it reminded me of the games I used to play on newgrounds and what not
A great concept but I found it got tedious. I think I would have liked it more if the cultists weren't on ice and it was more of a pure puzzle game. I often knew what I wanted to do but had to fight with the map too much to do it. Very cool though!
@zee-yuen Strangely, no one had a problem with this during testing, but just in case the arrow keys should work too.
@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
Really creative idea! like the simple puzzle format, but difficulty ramps up quick!
oh man i need someone to show me how to finish the second level lmao
Awesome idea! The first demon that requires 4 lines kicked my butt
This was a really fun submission!
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!
This was pretty unique. The difficulty does ramp pretty quickly, and it can be hard to anticipate exactly how the ice would work. I could see people spending a lot of time playing something like this. It gives me a bit of nostalgia for some older puzzle games, and I think it is built well. Nice work!
Good work! Seems like a patient game. It is hard for me to interact with more cultists at first.
Pretty fun challenge. I agree with the others I can see it being one of those newgrounds games. Gameplay is clear cut and easy to understand, well-executed concept.
Love this! Cool soundtrack, and interesting gameplay
Fun idea ! I think the control may need to be adjusted a bit to make it less frustrating when you have to bring more than 1 summon behind the scull. Nice entry overall :)
Whahaha, this game was fun. Super original but damn frustrating (in the good sense!). The bouncy guys.... little shits. Great sound and graphics :D.
Pretty well
Game got quite frustrating on some levels :D but other than that a nice little concept with cool graphics. Well done.
really well made, awesome soundtrack and super slick (get it?) gameplay. The puzzles are fun and the art style is amazing. Really nice entry, keep it up!
Fun game. While I didn’t struggle with any of the puzzles I can see how they would be hard if I didn’t happen to be standing in the right spot just on accident. Really good submission
Quite a fun idea! Really difficult and frustrating... 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
@floke Thank for your feedback and sorry for the frustration. 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
Ah, I didnt mean frustrating because of the bug - bad wording there :D The levels were frustrating enough, especially these bouncy blue things. They made me _very_ angry...
This is a hidden game, I could get addicted to this game!
Great entry. It is kinda difficult but challenging though. Good job!
This hgame is really fun, but kinda hard. The friction is well made! Absolutely in love.
Hi! clever mix of action and puzzle solving with amazing level design. Thank you!
Fun, feel like this could be a really good puzzle game idea even without the ice mechanics. The puzzle part suffers a bit from having to fight against the cultists sliding all over the place :sweat_smile:
A fun puzzle; after understanding the principle on the first level, it became quite easy. Thanks for the work!
Two things that I wasn't expecting to see together: cultists and ice. And you managed to combine them into one. Amazing. :laughing: Very solid entry with a very simple and nice game loop that made a huge space for challenging puzzles. Great job!
Aw man thats hard! I couldnt fininsh second level Music is cool btw
Great puzzler! Hilarious title! I'm hooked!
Music was great too!
Quite diffi(cult) :laughing:! A really original idea, I liked it!
Noice game.Started simple but got more difficult.
I also found a bug: Screenshot from 2024-04-16 21-49-01.png
What a cool and challenging concept! I really enjoyed the mix of puzzles and the unique ice mechanic. Great work on creating a fun and engaging game that keeps players on their toes!
@the-bm I know about this bug, I'm fixing it in the post-jam patch, but I'm having trouble reproducing it. I see it several times, but I don't know why XD
It was fun, let's state that as the first point.
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!
Cool game, I liked it!
Cool game! I like the style and the heavy metal track playing in the background is a banger :) 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!
Thanks for the stream submission! I really like the idea of the game, and figuring out the way to position your cultist squad through the ice courses was really nice :)
Really liked the game! Hope you make lots more in the future!
Fun idea! Some levels felt more like puzzles and others more like precision. I enjoyed it! The same principle could be used to solve most levels, but others required more work. Great job!
Cool concept, has some nice puzzles to scratch your head, good work!
Wasnt able to figure out how it really works past level one :(
Very fun! And I am very bad at this, but I felt compelled to continue. I will someday get through all 20 levels!
Really fun, pretty game. I like that logic puzzles that you've made. First stage firstly was confusing, but after notime, it clicked.
This game is pretty challenging and fun to play! Also, I like the music
I'm too dum-dum to finish it but I can see that it's overall a great game and it's given a lot of thought in level-design.
Really really good game, with a really unique idea and a great vibe! Loved the music and also the SFX of "despawning" cultists :D
Really hard, but good. Thats what she said. Great puzzle mechanics quite unique. :)
So difficult & creative game. I like it, especially SFX, but sometiles feels that input movement is too tough)
Glad you joined the stream today, hope you enjoyed it!
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!
Most people avoid ice levels, but you found a way to use it to introduce a unique challenge. Thanks for sharing. (PS, thought I was clever on one level where you get a cultist by default with right clicking it, but it did nothing. Dang).
I don't know what's more frustrating, the spike maze level where you have to get through the maze with 2 cultists, and they keep desyncing from each other and going in different directions even though the inputs are the same, or this troll slime that decided to block the gap after I spent over half an hour getting here, staying there, and refusing to move anywhere.
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.

@sariiger I plan to add all these fixes in a post jam patch
A simple and addictive game! Good job!
