OK played it some more ... the ice still needs a lot of improvment.
1. The character needs to animate when attempting the run on the ice ... it looks stupid when you're pressing to move on the gamepad and the character just stands there and still speeds up ... which brings me to
2. When on the ice and pressing a direction to move it's as if the character charges up and then launches as hard as possible ... you don't see the character animate and slowly accelerate until it's too much the character just goes from sitting still almost to launching off the ice due to some screwy friction to impulse interaction.
