If you're currently walking towards the dragon when you get hit by an ice beam attack, you get set to frozen and an ice crystal appears around where you were when you were hit, but you keep walking (and the ice crystal doesn't move with you). When you reach the dragon, THEN you stop moving. It basically forgets to stop you walking if you were walking when the attack hits, even though other ice effects still trigger such as the Wing attack not being able to push you back.
EDIT: Technically you're sliding. The animation is stopped but movement is not if it's already started. This appears to be fixed in Gridland Ultimate.
I noticed that GLU gives more sword hits than this version - 3, 6, 9 respectively as opposed to 3, 5, 7. Not sure if there are any other differences to gameplay other than the ad reward chests.
