Fire & Ice

[STORY]

A long time ago, there was an ice island far to the north. It was called

Coolmint Island, a peaceful island inhabited by the winter fairies. But, one

day....An evil wizard named Druidle sent Flame Monsters to the island. "If

something isn't done, Coolmint Island will melt away!" In response to this

crisis the Queen of the winter fairies called upon a wizard. She chose...a

novice wizard named Dana. "Dana, I'll give you Ice Magic to extinguish the

evil Flames." "You have been chosen for your wisdom and courage." "We trust

you, Dana."

[Mechanics and Gameplay]

The game will assume you know some simple rules. Don't worry if you don't

since the game will gradually introduce new concepts as you complete more

levels. I've summarized all the rules you'll need to know to finish the game

below.

[Basic rules]

A. Objectives

1. Remove all the flames.

2. Defeat any enemies on screen.

3. No time limit except on lava stages. Time is for keeping

personal records and has no effect on gameplay.

B. Using Ice

1. Ice is created diagonally below you in the direction that you are

facing.

2. Ice created next to another object such as a jar, stone, ice, or

wall will "stick" to it and become "secure". Similarly, ice with

support from below is also "secure".

3. Ice may be pushed or dropped if the ice is not secured.

4. Ice may not be placed directly above a burning jar although it

may be placed one level higher up.

[Advanced rules]

A. Physics

1. Ice is a "smooth" surface and will slide across the floor until

stopped by another object or until they drop down through an

opening.

2. A stone is a "rough" surface and will move only 1 space when

pushed. Stones pushed on top of ice won't stop until a rough

surface is reached.

3. Secure ice or Dana can support infinite weight from above.

4. Ice not attached to walls or other secure objects or are

not supported from below will drop down until solid ground is

reached.

5. Removing certain ice blocks can cause chain reactions.

6. Once a jar is ignited, it can never be cooled down.

7. Ice directly above a flame will not melt.

8. You may only push blocks with nothing adjacent to them. 2 blocks

are needed to form "secure" objects.

9. Pipes can still be entered if you are one level lower than the

pipe itself.

B. Strategy

1. Ice can be used to form steps to reach higher ledges.

2. Ice "bridges" can be formed to reach other areas.

3. Many levels require you to set up blocks for later use.

4. Not all the blocks or objects provided need to be used.

5. Stacking blocks is a useful tactic.

6. Play it safe by creating blocks before you destroy them.

[OBSTACLES]

Here are the obstacles you will encounter in the game.

Blocks Just your regular run of the mill walls. Nothing special.

Druidle Your arch-enemy of the game.

Flames Remove them with the aid of your wand.

Ice Come in many lengths.

Jars Come in either hot or cold form.

Monsters Come in many varieties. Some fly horizontally. Some fly

vertically. Others carry umbrellas.

Pipes Come in different shapes and lengths.

Stones Are both indestructible and heat-resistant.

[Edit mode]

Edit mode is an extra part of the game in which you can create your own

levels for play. The rules are the same as in the standard game. You can

create a level with the items.
