The game uses a top-down, single-screen stage structure. Each level tasks Dana with extinguishing all flames while navigating tight layouts and limited safe space. She can create ice blocks in multiple directions, and those blocks can halt fire spread, create barriers, or be arranged to solve the stage objective. Later levels add more complex fire patterns and trickier terrain, requiring careful positioning, route planning, and efficient use of the available ice. Progress is stage-based, with difficulty rising steadily.

Dana
The young sorceress controlled by the player. She uses ice magic to contain and extinguish the flames.
Study how the flames spread before committing to a block placement. Try to use each ice block to influence more than one fire source or lane. In cramped stages, leave yourself an escape path first, then work on containment. When multiple flames are active, cut off the most dangerous spread route before cleaning up the rest.
