A Dance of Fire and Ice is a rhythm game developed by 7th Beat Games.

The minimum requirements are on the low side, but due to the prevalence of user-made custom levels, it is recommended to have higher specifications to reduce lag from flashy screen effects.

A Dance of Fire and Ice was created by Hafiz Azman (fizzd), a developer for 7th Beat Games. It was created as a submission for Ludum Dare 30, a game development contest held on August 2014. The theme for the competition was Conneceted Worlds.

Afterwards, three worlds[2] were added, alongside a calibration feature, updating the game to Version 0.3.1. This was released on itch.io as a demo.

On January 1, 2019, the full version of the game was revealed on Steam and itch.io. Four new worlds[3] were added in collaboration with composer Jade Kim, and a few levels were rebalanced. The design of the game was also overhauled with artwork by Kyle Labriola, replacing the equalizer background used in the demo.

In the first release version of the game, the only available levels were the official levels. However, user Morphious86 developed an unofficial level editor, which was used widely in the community. Consequently, 7th Beat Games recruited Morphious86, and added an official in-game level editor in Version 1.1.3 of the game.

Afterwards, the level editor saw new features being added such as background options, camera movement, filter options, track movement and decorations, while Worlds 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were being added to the base game.

Alongside World 12, two Xtra Worlds[4] were added to the game. In future updates, World XC, World XH, and World PA were made, the last one as a collaboration with the rhythm game Project Arrhythmia.

In Version 1.10.0, released on October 2020, World XR and World XT were added, and so on...

Steam Workshop support was added to the game.

Starting from this version, users could upload custom levels made through the level editor onto the Steam Workshop, and enjoy other users' levels in-game by subscribing to them.

Upon entering the game, a fire planet and an ice planet can be seen orbiting in the main lobby. When the planet currently in-orbit reaches a tile, pressing any key[5] causes the orbiting planet to land on the tile, and the other planet starts orbiting. This is how the planets move on the tiles, synced to the beat.

Specifically, as soon as the planet first enters a tile, pressing a key causes the planet to move to that tile. In the lobby, pressing a key when the planet isn't overlapping any tile causes nothing to happen, and the planets stay in place, but during gameplay, this results in a 'Early!!' or 'Late!!' judgment. See the section below for more details on judgments. Pressing when the planet overlaps the tile more precisely results in better judgments.

Accuracy Calculation Methods

Accuracy calculated by taking the accuracy when all tiles are pressed with Perfect! judgment as 100%.

No Fail Mode is a feature that was added alongside the Neo Cosmos update.

It can be toggled by pressing N in the Workshop menu, and by pressing the white armor symbol (or Alt+N) to the left of the autoplay icon in the level editor.

However, due to the long-standing consensus that completing a level meant hitting all tiles without missing once, completing a level using No Fail Mode usually is not considered a clear among community members[6].

Calibration is a feature that allows the player to match the offset between the keyboard input and the in-game input handling. The calibration screen can be entered by entering the calibration portal at the bottom of the main island, or by pressing the C key while in the Settings screen. Pressing any button in the calibration menu causes the planets in the center to spin. To calibrate, press the input key based on the drum beat in the background. Once an input is made, a dotted line appears based on the input offset, which does not necessarily need to be matched to. However, this can serve as a distraction, so it is recommended to press based on audio with closed eyes.

After the calibration is finished, the game displays the player's skill level. The levels are D, C, B, A and S, and each level has a different flavor text.

Official levels are called Worlds, which can be found in Set 1, Set 2, the Xtra Island, Crown Island and Star Island. The following are short descriptions of each island.

If a level is completed, the Speed Trial for the level is unlocked.
Speed Trials are challenge modes that modify the overall BPM of the level, and disable all checkpoints. They has a lower bound of 0.5×, and an upper bound of 2¹²⁸×.

All official levels have an 'aim', which is usually between 1.2×–1.5×, depending on the level's difficulty. However, certain levels such as Worlds XT and XT have an aim of 0.9x, which is slower than the base level. In this case, the aim of the challenge is simple completing the level without checkpoints, due to its high difficulty.

Speed Trials can also be done with custom levels. The speed can be set directly in the level editor, or by modifying the speed using the left tab in the editor. Speed Trial options are also available in the Steam Workshop menu.

The following is a list of information regarding the Speed Trials of official levels.
