About A Dance of Fire and Ice

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. 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.)
