About This Game

Water always finds a way

Hold the Levee simulates water on every cell of the map: it runs downhill, fills hollows, pushes against levees

and seeps through embankments. Every trench changes the river's course, every levee can leak, and every dam can break.

Campaign: 24 missions

• Trenches, mills and turbines: make power from the difference in water levels.

• A flood wave: sandbags, levees and pumps before the water reaches the village.

• A storm on the coast, a cascade of dams, a flood in a medieval city.

• A valley with a railway: culverts under the embankment, a polder, debris on the bridge piers and trains on schedule.

• Winter: the river freezes, and in the thaw the floes pile up into an ice jam under the bridge.

• Roles reversed: you are the water. Breach the levee and flood the town hall defended by an AI crew.

Defend the Village

The river rises higher every time. Between waves you have time and a budget: levees, walls, gates, pumps.

The forecast shows when the water from the mountains will arrive. The village grows with every wave you survive — how long can you hold?

Flood the Village

AI workers stack sandbags, build walls and pumps, and patch your trenches. You have a shovel, charges and a river.

Two players

“Water vs Defender”: one player floods the town hall, the other defends it.

“Defend Together”: a shared budget against ever higher waves.

Take turns at one computer or play online with a Steam friend.

Sandbox and map editor

Every tool with no limits: raise and lower terrain, add water, send a storm to the mountains or a hard frost.

Share a finished map with a short code — friends paste it in and play on your landscape.
