Hi! This is our humble entry for the seventh Newgrounds Game Jam. We formed a team after the Jam started. In this game, you play as the King of the Fire Kingdom and must resist the Ice invasion.
For more information related to the Game Jam (such as our Core Mechanics Diagram), please click on the Game Jam icon on the menu screen in-game. Enjoy!
Here's another version of the instructions which looks at the game from a different perspecitve if the one in-game was not clear enough.:
The objective of the game is to use fire units to destroy all ice units on the screen. Fire and ice units take turn to move.
Every turn, the unit will grow in strength. The strength is shown by the number on the unit. The increase depends on the material of the square which the unit is on. Fire increases three on wood, two on bricks and one on stone; ice increases three on stone, two on bricks and one on wood.
To move a unit, you need to choose a neighbouring square. To stay, simply click on the current square or the skip button below. If you move to a square with a hostile unit, the one with greater strength will remain on the square. However, its strength will decrease by the strength of the defeated unit. If you move to a square with a friendly unit, the two units will combine to form a unit whose strength is the sum of the two original units.
Controls: Mouse only
PS Our team doesn't have a musician, so AP music was used.
Updates:
1/7 20.45 NGT: OK, level buttons have been fixed. I hope it gets updated soon! - FC
I defeated this game was back in 2012, but it's missing a review. Here I am correcting this issue.
Fire versus ice strategy flash. Graphics are nice and you can tell everything apart. Gameplay can gets repetitive the longer you go.
The medals work, and I earned them all.

borinf and not understandable
The problem is there is zero strategy to this in some stages. Or, rather, there is a strategy, but the optimal strategy for *both* sides is defensive and let the other side attack. So you can sit there forever waiting for the computer player to make a stupid move.
Obviously since you're versing a computer player, they can just retreat or remain as they are every single turn.
Even baiting the computer player doesn't work as you can put someone weak near their guys hoping they'll give chase and often they don't, or they'll decide to retreat.
So the problem is you have here a strategy game which has no winning strategy and no means to force the game to progress in the case of these endless stalemates. Maybe if after x amount of turns no side has won, give the win to the player, to force the computer to actually do something other than just retreat and hold.
Amusing game
There was a lot of good things to like about your effort here, the main part had to be the concept and design of the whole game, And to be honest with you i thought this was entertaining and fun even exciting, There is good things about this, and in a way it was rather unique. Now heres a game that i was impressed with, the size alone was very impressive, if you can make a fun game with just a small size like that, then you have my vote. ok so this game was kind of like chess, i like it and there was some interest, but got boring after abut maybe because of the turn based style, maybe if you added more to it like some enhancments and some effects, and even some bonus games in there. The power of creativity is in all of us, and you have show-casedyour creativity here in this flash game, you have brought some smiles and joy inckuding lots of fun entertainment to the portal keep it up.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Seemed like an alright game. It is definitely fun, and entertaining but there is obviously room for improvement here and there. So this is where i may suggest some possible polish points and some other areas that can be polished up. Making this more interesting with some mini bonus games and some extra effects and elements to the game to give it more of an entertaining value.
Thanks a lot for the review! We'll definitely remember the points you brought up. -FC
