About the game
ICECOOL2 is a fast, flicking dexterity game where players guide penguin-shaped pieces through a three-dimensional school, either completing tasks or chasing down fellow students for points. Playable as a standalone game or combined with the original ICECOOL for even bigger layouts, it adds new abilities like fish-moving powers and a competitive tournament scoring mode. Combining sets unlocks new game modes, including a race variant, and supports up to eight players at once. It's an energetic, physical game that rewards a steady hand and quick reflexes.
