Dam Keeper
Keep a mountain dam safe through 25 storms. Open spill gates to make room before the rain, but keep enough water to turn the turbines, and never let the river flood the town. The forecast only gives you ranges.

About the game
Dam Keeper puts you in the control room of a small mountain dam. Rain fills the reservoir, the turbines turn the outflow into power, and four spill gates let extra water go. Fill it too high and the dam overtops. Spill too much at once and the river bursts into the town below. Run it too low and the turbines stop.
The twist is the forecast. The next six hours are shown as bars from the lowest to the highest rain that might fall, and the bars get wider the further ahead you look. The real rain can land anywhere in that range. Open gates early to make room before a storm and you waste water you could have turned into power; wait too long and you may have to release more than the river can carry. Over 25 storms the rain gets heavier and harder to predict, and the river gets smaller.
