A Dance of Fire and Ice News

Hello! July is coming to an end, but just in time we've got a brand new world for you to play. Or...well...July WAS coming to an end when we published the update to the game. You know what we mean.

We've also added a variety of new features to the Custom Level Editor, including the ability to change the visuals of the background and the track itself. Enjoy!



Features:

• World 8, 'Jungle City', has been added! Test your skill with slanted angles and hexagon loops in this jazzy cityscape.
  
• Support for Steam Cloud Saves! You can now ensure your records are safe in the cloud.

Custom Level Editor Features:

• Set Background: Change your level’s background with a custom color or image!
  
• Change Track: You can now change how the track looks. Change between different color schemes like Strips, Glow and Rainbow. You can also change the colors for each scheme. It also lets you animate how new tiles appear and disappear!
  
• Flash: Add background and foreground flashes to the screen, and choose the colors for them.
  
• Move Camera: You can now animate the camera by moving, rotating, and zooming.
  
• Set Hitsound: Change the sound when you hit each tile.
  
• Events now can be offset to be triggered after you hit the tile using the angle offset variable or the circle angle indicator.
  
• 360-degree tiles: You can make them by pressing the opposite direction key while holding Space.
  
• Open From URL: Load .zip levels from a URL! Just paste the level's link, and it will download, unzip and open the level!

Custom Level Editor Changes and Bugfixes:

• Clicking in the same spot will cycle through tiles below cursor.
  
• Some events allow for more than one event per tile; you can press Tab to cycle between them.
  
• Screen flashes should now fit the screen in the editor, regardless of zoom level.
  
• Small tweaks and improvements.

Thank you for all of the Steam reviews we received during the Summer Sale, we really appreciate it. Don't forget to check out World 7: Spin 2 Win if you haven't played it yet! All additional levels can be found by landing on the gem stones in the menu, which carry you to the lower half of the Level Select options.

We will be back when we have more news of new levels or Level Editor features.

Thank you!

Hello! We're back with a whole new world added to the game, plus new features and tweaks to the level editor. Now that we're done porting the game to iOS and Android, development is progressing on the additional worlds that we're adding for free. Enjoy!


We've added a new world to the game, plus a new section of the main menu. We also have some tweaks to the Level Editor and some bugfixes.

Features:

• World 7, 'Spin 2 Win', by guest musician Cadence Hira, has been added! This world tests your ability with new rhythms by changing the direction of your orbit while moving around tight corners. Good luck!
  
• We now have a new section of the main menu. Land on one of the floating gems to move down to a new row, where you will find World 7. Future levels will also be added there.
  
• Level Editor: Pitch and hit-sound volume adjustment for custom levels
  
• Level Editor: New 30 degree angles for creating tiles
  
• Level Editor: Tile Multi-selection and Copy + Paste

Changes:

• Selecting a level will now take you straight to the boss level (1-X, 2-X, etc.) if you have already reached the boss level before

Bugfixes:

• Loading a new level in the level editor would sometimes not load the new song.
  
• Minor bug fixes and adjustments

We are continuing to work on new worlds that explore new track shapes, as well as working on small additions and changes for the Level Editor. We're a small team, so we appreciate your patience. We will have a new world for you to play later this summer. Thank you for playing! And thank you again for the very kind Steam reviews.

You can play hundreds of custom levels created by other players by downloading them from our Discord.

Hello! It's been a little while, but we've been pretty busy working on new versions and features for the game. First of all, the game now has a level editor! We know there's been a lot of requests for the ability to make your own custom levels of any song you want, so now you can.

Aside from that, you can now find the game on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store! The iPhone and Android versions have been adjusted to match the art of the Steam version. Have fun!


We've implemented a few changes and tweaks to the game, mostly for optimization. Here's a list of them:

Features:

• Custom Level Editor: You can now upload a .mp3 or .ogg file and create your own level for it. You can find the editor by moving to the left on the Level Select menu. We wanted to create a simple and intuitive system, so you can create the shape of the track really quickly using your keyboard. Saving your level will save it as a .adofai file, which you can share with friends. We look forward to seeing what people can do with our game mechanics!
  
• Play Custom Levels: If you'd like to play a custom level that someone else has made, download their .adofai file along with the audio file in the same folder, and then open the .adofai file using the in-game Custom Level Editor. Now you can play it yourself!

Changes:

• Visual changes: We've remastered and re-optimized some of our visual assets. Most of the changes are small, but they're most notable in the level 1-X.
  
• Adjusted audio issue on level 4-1.

Bugfixes:

• Minor bug fixes and adjustments.

Due to the expanded scope of the game, especially supporting the Level Editor and playable custom levels, we are increasing the price on Steam to be $3.99 USD. We feel that this is a better match for the size of the game. The change will occur on Friday, May 10th. You can still get the game this week, before then, at the old price. Thank you for understanding!

Now that we've finished these graphics remasters and released the level editor, we can focus on working on free additional levels. We've got a few ideas in mind, so thank you for your patience as we finish the levels! And thanks again for all the very kind Steam reviews, it means a lot to us.

We will update you on here and on our Twitter/Discord when the first additional world is added to the game. You can also hang out with the 2000+ members of our Discord, and see what levels they've come up with using the Custom Level Editor. And if you encounter any bugs, let us know!

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.


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.
  

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.


To fellow music theory people: here's a breakdown we wrote of the rhythm theory behind the game.

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.


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! Our Discord server includes over 1,500 active members and is a great place to hang out and discuss our two rhythm games. Plus you can brag about beating Pulse.
