A Dance of Fire and Ice is a strict one-button rhythm game. You control two orbiting planets as they travel down a winding path.

If you like the browser demo at the top of the page, you can scroll down (or check Steam) to get the paid full version with remastered art and lots more features and levels!

Note that the itch.io version here is cheaper than the Steam version because it does not come with Steam Workshop support (Steam doesn't allow it!). Level editor and custom levels are still totally available, you just have to load the levels manually from a URL.

So fun!

(1 edit)

finally reached 3-x 1.3x

(a little bit later i reached 3-x 1.4x at 55%)

You literally cant blink if you wanna pass

nice

I am playing some bands of fire and ice, So you don't have to worry about downloading it 

dude i can't even beat the wind-up on 1x speed

I beat 1.5x!!!! took me 5 attempt, I think 1.6x might be my limit @-@

Good idea of game.

reply if you can beat 3-X (1.5x) if you lie you are a fraud

(1 edit) (+1)

what there is 3-x !!! I am still on the first one and that's already impossible as in 1-x

3-x  The wind-up (1.1x) I got 80% first try. 

3rd try 3-x (1.1x) complete

72% on 1.2 speed.

show of im still stuck at xtra 3, i mean world 15.

55% on 1.4 speed

(1 edit)

samee (now im stuck on 2-x XD)

how to get 1.5x

(1 edit) (+1)

that's actually insane. congrats on getting that far!

I beat 1-12 x and now am on xtra world 3. thats a pice of cake for me now. i can do it 3.0x speed. Also watch this cool vid

(+1)

this game made me make an account on itch.io just so i could say i like this game but i also hate how it makes me want to jump off a bridge

I thought I was bad at this game but I read some comments and it seems like a lot of people haven't even gotten to 3-X

maybe about a month everyday of practice and you could beat 3-X on 2x

who knew a one button game would be hard

pls make this free

Have you tried Practically Installing it Randomly Around Cracks Yanks? 

(+1)

consider: 

1)pirating

2)getting a job

3)stick with demo

4)play a knock off

5)find a friend who owns the game and borrow it

6)pirating (again)

7)paying for the game

just tried it now im heading to steam

Why did it just Froze

I got 53% on 3-X (1.5x)

(1 edit)

this reminds me of those chinese health balls that go in your hand and sing.

i use only the online version and there is NOTHING FUNKION why can say me everyone why but i on phone

вы мне знатно нервы потрепали и это мне нравится

I beat party of spirits now

(1 edit)

3-X:

x1.0  100%

x1.1  100%

x1.2  100%

x1.3   17%

3-X tips:

1.0-1.1 find the rhythm

1.2 If you get early,you must be careful(If you get late,you just need to be faster.) Because controlling faster is easier than controlling slower

yolo i reacged x1.4 on 55%

I used D and J and didn't beat Party of spirits. But it does not suck

this is such a cool game! A+

theres a secret cheat code for immmortality for a bit, go to atleast 50%, click outside the window, get back in and you get immortality. dont click alot cause overload is still affectable, and its tenmporary

(4 edits)

100% on 3-X (1x) FINALLY

89% on 3-X (1.1) LETS GO

I've also finished 1/4

good job!

Hi! I'm new here!

ngl 3-x is easy

1-x is so lon

I finally beat 3-X after many failures and then beat 1.1 on my first try :D

niceeee

(-1)

I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME

(1 edit)

...why?

fuck you then

I read the title "These tutorials are inadequate for what's coming, forgive me" after beating the level before 3-X and I thought to myself, "Oh yeah, I saw people in the comments talking about 3-X; wonder how soon it'll be"

so my best rn is 12% and I'm considering using more than just my index finger on LMB

holy shit, used both index fingers on F and J and got to 36% w/o much difficulty

I struggle to get past the square zig-zag thing bc I get used to that pattern and forget to switch to an even beat afterwards

50%!

52%... it's the same pattern but for some reason it's tripping me up now

61%

I should stop for today. Goodbye for now, I will return (sometime in the future I'll get this game on Steam bc it's a rhythm game I actually like)

I thought I was bad at this game but I read some comments and it seems like a lot of people haven't even gotten to 3-X

This game is ok until you get to the 10th level the game can't keep up with the visuals and audio at that point and no matter what you do the spheres will lag and you cant beat it. Plus it costs 4 dollars when you can get a better version that runs 10 times better for free. 2/10

what's the free version? the version on Steam is also paid

the one on the web, you silly

You can make the Same game instead of paying its that easy to make the same game so why does it cost money which you make the same game

(+1)(-4)

im not paying money

3-X isn't even to the beat of the music, its just guessing

and thats the ying to the yang of playing ADOFAI...

"ying"

I love the game the only problem I had was the game forcing me to make an offset which constantly made me lose because the music wasn't right on time

Hi, I am new to this rythm type of games and I want to ask something about this game.

Is it good if I got to 1.5 in 3X?

Just wondering. Would also like to hear some other games of rythm I could play.

(-1)

yea it is good and a good rhythm game you should try is a game called Friday night funkin'.

Yes, thank you. Forgot about that game.

So ADOFAI isn't my first rythm game, sorry. FNF was actually mi first game.

I remembered about it when i searched for the game name. I remember playing it on newgrounds some years ago. But yeah, it was a good game. Sorry that I forgot to mention it.

(+1)

Some good rhythm games in my opinion are: Osu!, Fnf, Geometry Dash (if that counts), Beat Saber, Thumper, and PaRappa the Rapper.

So Geometry Dash counts!? I play Geometry Dash :D

I also made a level called "Time Sphere preview" or something like that.

My username is: hyjhgkkgkk3

:D

geometry dash is just a highly stylized rhythm game, unless you count community levels, bc those are their own thing

(+1)

Im on 3-X (1.4) :|

cool :|

L goofy imagine

this is you L

I know

wtfrick bald screech 😂
