Hello! It's been about two weeks since launch now. Thank you so much for all the purchases, suggestions and reviews of the game! We read all of them and they make our day. Especially appreciate your time in leaving a review, we know it takes time to write but it keeps the game alive enough for us to keep working on new levels for you.

Version 1.0.4 Patch Notes

Through the weeks we've been receiving and implementing little changes based on your feedback. Here's a list of them: Features:

• New tutorials in world 3, 6 and B (thanks Samario for suggestion).
• 3-X is more compact, for more fun without losing difficulty (thanks Weesterner for indirect suggestion)
• VSync feature added (thanks d e a t h)
• "New Best" is shown when you set a new highest % complete
• Pure Perfect messages added
• Portuguese language support added! (thanks Gordo!)
• some secret stuff

Changes:

• Slight shadow added to "% Complete" text for clarity
• Reduced flashing throughout the game
• PrintScreen is no longer a valid input (thanks Nitro for suggestion)

Bugfixes:

• Planets not exploding correctly
• Some PCs ran the game without a visible window. Solution if you still have the problem, is to run in windowed mode at first, and it should fix it permanently after.

Soundtrack

We've just released our soundtrack! It includes the 7 main tracks of the game. It also includes a few bonus things, including a thank-you, a set of "tips and tricks" maps (think of it as borrowing a Strategy Guide from your neighbor), and a little secret hidden within the files. You can find and purchase the OST here! Also available on Bandcamp for streaming or purchase.

Misc

To fellow music theory people: here's a breakdown we wrote of the rhythm theory behind the game. https://redd.it/amh7wz Are you a musician? If you're interested in making a unique level for the game for money, please get in touch via this email: fizzd at 7thbe.at! We're looking for levels that explore different shapes than what's already in the game.

Future

Level Editor! New levels! We aim to release a new update at the end of each month, whether its a new level or level editor prototypes. We'll confirm them when we can. New level when 30% of you beat the game just kidding The best places to follow us for updates are either on Twitter or our Discord!

A Dance of Fire and Ice is a simple one-button rhythm game.



Press on every beat of the music to move in a line.



Every pattern has its own rhythm to it. It can get difficult. This game is purely based on rhythm, so use your ears more than your sight.



Note that it is quite strict and unforgiving, so please play the online version here if you're not sure if this is for you! If you've played the Rhythm Heaven series - this is about as strict as that.

• Explore the cosmos: Soar through each genre of music in a variety of colorful fantasy landscapes.
  
• Predict every moment: With a track that shows you every rhythm ahead of time, you’ll learn to sight-read levels as they come. No tricks, and nothing is reaction-based.
  
• Play new levels for free: Tackle new songs and new rhythms as we expand the game with free level patches
  
• Steam Workshop Support: Create, share, and play countless user-made custom levels through our Workshop
  
• Calibrate your experience: Manually adjust your calibration on-the-fly, or use our auto-calibration method. The game is precisely timed, and you won’t experience any slow desync over time like you might with other music-based twitch games. (We’re musicians and off-sync games hurt us.)
