About This Game
Icewords has five unique enemies, each bringing its own quirks and dangers. Attacking enemies earns you letters that you can place on the board, and spelling longer words multiplies the points you earn. As you defeat enemies, you charge up a devastating blizzard that you can unleash when all seems hopeless.

And your character (who is a penguin, because of course he is) walks along the tiles of the word you scored and either pushes or throws the enemies nearby, depending on their position. And if you don't pay attention to your positioning, the enemies are gonna push you off the grid and you'll lose! The longer the word, the bigger the score multiplier, but it might well be that a really good word will put you in a bad position, and you'd be prudent to think twice, no matter how temping it might seem. The level of tactical thinking required is on par with Into The Breach. Yes, seriously. Enable "show turn order" in the options -- it's a must-have. The main menu looks like it's from...
Came here from your Reddit post while researching word games on Godot. Great and unique concept!

A unique word game.
