Version 2.9.0

A Dance of Fire and Ice Coming to Nintendo Switch

As you might remember, we're bringing A Dance of Fire and Ice to the Nintendo Switch! We were so happy to be included in one of 2024's Indie World presentations. Although we've been making great progress on the port, we will unfortunately need to push the expected release date into 2025. As always, we're taking things at our own pace to focus on making something new and special for the Nintendo Switch version that we think you'll really enjoy! We'll have more information on what new content you can expect next year when we're ready to show it off.

Level Editor Improvements

• Hitbox Target Planet option (including options for "Any", "Center Planet" or "Orbiting PLanet"). This is useful for triggering events when stepping on a Freeroam floor
• You can now use 1x1 Freeroam sections without text-editing
• Editor panel is now resizable
• Set Input Event, for detecting particular keyboard inputs. It can detect the keyboard's left half or right half, or detect arrow keys. Allows for keydown and keyup options, or can ignore player input and use keys only for events.

New Featured Levels

Wave 10 (v2.9.0)

3000 Moons Music: Zris Level: Bingsu Round like the moon, 3000 Moons is a dotted eighth-focused level for fans of octagon rhythms like those from World 10! Charming like the moon, it has a cool midnight atmosphere that matches the song's vibe, resembling that YOUtopia you've been looking for. Disk Failure Music: Sunnexo Level: M1n3c4rt & CyanAqua A hard disk drive has malfunctioned! Its memories are being corrupted! Escape from these twisty turns and trials orchestrated by these two viruses, codenamed "M1n3c4rt" and "CyanAqua," that together will ruin your day! Sonder Music: Shirobon Level: Bin, Vybbles, Rikri, TeoC "How much can you do with music that has very repetitive rhythm?" is the question these four creators were able to answer through this level. It received positive reception for its uniqueness in gameplay but imprisoned those who dared to conquer it. Take a deep breath, and lock in. VANGUARD-1 Music: II-L Level: yeetyote, kernby, Econ, Cam_ VANGUARD-1 is the oldest satellite still orbiting the Earth. As the planets align with its orbit, you are given the chance to take a peek at the aged artifact's journey around the cosmos. Filled to the brim with tricky rhythms and visual obstructions, you struggle to see a clear route. Will you manage to stay on course and see the trip to its end? Or will you become lost in space? Here's a preview video showcasing the 10th wave of Featured Levels! [previewyoutube=BGr1VdcsSic;full][/previewyoutube]

Updates to Past Featured Levels

LORELEI We've replaced jacket/portal art with a high-quality version (courtesy of Ssimille). We're almost done with work for the year before taking a little bit of a holiday break. We'll let you know if we have any more small updates before 2024 is over. Thank you for all your support this year, especially with our waves of Featured Levels! It's been incredible to see what people have been able to make in our Editor lately. As always, thanks for playing!
