A Dance of Fire and Ice 4+

You do not give yourself nearly enough credit to start off. This is exactly the kind of game for me. Challenging and you can pick it up/put it down as you see fit ( as long as you can hear it, of course). I applaud thee. I have defeated all but two songs, and am perfectly happy to keep adding to my attempt count with no practice rounds. Thank you for all of the good effort put into this masterpiece. I cannot wait to dive into the recently purchased steam version for all of the player-created content!

One con: I do not think my iPhone XR can keep up on some of the later levels. It will sometimes miss on very obvious and clear non-misses ( says I hit too early or too late on painfully obvious “perfect” marks ) and it will stop vibrating mid song on a few songs, which can be distracting. This may just be my phone, however. I literally recommend this game to anyone. Casual or challenging this is the game for you! Thank you devs, I cannot wait for more content or a part two!

TLDR: worth every penny, a few quality of life changes that I think are necessary/would make the game better.

This is one of the best or if not, the best game I’ve ever played. You don’t need to be an experienced gamer to play, and get good. It is worth every single penny. The dlc (while hard) is absolutely amazing, (even though the harder version of world five isn’t out yet) and gameplay is simple, and fun to learn, as well as being difficult to master, making the acceleration of difficulty perfect. I reached the crown island levels and 100%ed the game otherwise, and the game up to this was amazing, I can’t recommend it more.

For the devs:

After beating world b and the dlc I was slightly dissatisfied with the two new planet colors, as the diamond/true ice one looks slightly bigger than true fire and has a different trail.
Every time I close-close the app (like not just going home, but actually closing it), dlc settings like “hold tile behavior” and “invulnerability during free roam” are automatically reset to the default, being slightly annoying
I also play the game on iPad, but for some reason the dlc levels do not appear as cleared, even though I got the achievement, and clicked recover game progress using achievements
Also, all of the levels that are not main levels in the main game have the same problem
I wish the calibration would show the chosen colors of the planets

This year has been so...strange, to say the least, but this game has honestly made it so much better. I don’t know what it is about this game, but it’s so amazing and makes me feel satisfied and content while playing. The music, the simple yet challenging gameplay, the extra levels at the end— they all tie into each other to make this a truly amazing game to play. I’d honestly pay 3x this game cost just to experience it all again! The developers of this game deserve all the praise and congratulations because this app is truly a masterpiece. While the game may feel short to some, there’s a lot you can do here and the app is constantly updating and adding newer levels. My sister and I are absolutely HOOKED on this game and we'll sometimes challenge each other to see who can get highest on the speed runs. Thank you for such a great game I can’t get enough of it! The developing team deserves a clap on the back!!
