Managed to complete 1.6x, 1.7x always gets me in the middle... The concept behind this game is brilliant and I can imagine there are many songs that would perfectly fit in there too.
The increase of difficulty by speeding up the whole thing more and more works fine at the begining, but the faster you get, the more frustrating it gets if you can't keep up. So if you ever plan to make a sequel to this, it would be nice if there is not only an increase in speed, but also in complexity.
But for now, very nice and addictive game.
Reviews for "A Dance of Fire and Ice"
fizzd responds:
Thanks! More levels indeed planned some time next week if/when I have a little spare time
Really easy and boring.
Got to 1x fire and ice. extremely tough, but beatable........ wish you would add more songs .
P.S. you owe me a new keyboard, since my spacebars been smashed
I like it so much :o
So Im on dance of fire and ice, and I notice that the hitboxes are quite a bit off. You would think that you need to click when the the ball is IN the square, but you actually need to click just BEFORE the ball is in the square, and yet there are a few specific squares that actually have the hitbox inside the square, and its really throwing off the rhythm by that few critical milliseconds needed for a proper rhythm game.
As someone that does audio testing, and is also a skilled amateur drummer, its really throwing the game off for me.
fizzd responds:
skilled amateur hehe. valid point, though the system is actually tied directly to the audio samples rather than the visuals so you should be basing it on the audio, and you can change the calibration with left and right. Apologies if you found the default calibration a bit off, esp if you are Windows cause I don't have a Windows machine right now to test it. Fix coming soon
