Did you know Penguins love letters? They do! Especially if they are shiny! Get the penguins to collect letters for you, then use them to make words and score points! Fishy!

oh nice! i'm curious to see how the mechanic of how words are fetched and created.

[UPDATE 1/27/20]

been a bit slow going as I have spent the whole weekend on a train or in a hotel room. Finalized the design with my Wife and Son. Also got penguins animated! 

behold:

Added camera control today, and made my game-board flexible in size. You can now input 10 "seed words" that I will scramble and hide amongst the random letters on the board. Then your penguins will stack up in the columns to collect letters, and those are the letters you use to form words and score points!

In general, the less common a letter is in the English language, the more points you score for using it, (like Scrabble,) however, If you collect multiples of a single letter, then each use of that letter scores bonus points.

Should have a rough version in a playable state in a couple of days, then I can start cleaning it up and balancing it.

hhh these animations are so charming!! i can't wait to see how the gameplay looks!

I have been very busy on this project, Almost have a rough but playable version ready. Good news! My Wife thinks its cute! That means I have nearly completed my objectives!

Ok, submitted! https://the-lame-brain.itch.io/wordy-penguins

This is a pretty rough version. I am going to keep polishing on it, give it animations, sound, the ability to recognize when what you submit is not an actual word....
