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."

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.
