This map owes thanks to Milian, Mike12 and Magnetron256.
I noticed a small frozen lake in Milian's second Capricorn map on Zodiac which made the players slide but this was only a small feature in his map and I wanted to take it to the extreme! Magnetron256 came up with the title ages ago in reference to the way Zdaemon players look when they go 'undead' (after someone spawns on your position) and Mike12 inspired me to create the 'cheering' audience of demons.
I originally had the spawnspots in the outer area but when I tested with bots they never ventured onto the rink. I was worried that this might hold true for real players so I moved the start points onto the main rink. Then nobody really bothered going into the outer ring until i put a plasma there, lol. It's a tricky one to get without skating past though!
I did want to put a MIDI of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby' on this map but i couldn't find one that sounded good. Then I thought of using Strauss's 'Blue Danube' but once again I could find no decent rendition of the music. The current music is excellent but perhaps a little short for the map I feel.
