  1. Drag a stick from the pile onto a leak, or tap a leak, to plug it; the beaver brings a new stick every couple of seconds.
  2. Each plug adds pressure to the four logs around it, shown as cracks; a log with three cracks that gets pushed again bursts into a new leak.
  3. Open leaks slowly ease the pressure next to them.
  4. Keep the pond above the red line until the rain timer runs out.

About the game

Dam Plug is a quick arcade game about a beaver holding a dam together until the rain arrives. The pond sits behind a wall of logs, and leaks keep springing open; every open leak drains the pond a little faster than the stream can refill it. Drag sticks from the pile onto the leaks to plug them, while the beaver hurries back and forth bringing new sticks. If the water falls below the red line, the pond runs dry.

The twist is pressure. Plugging a leak does not make the water go away; it pushes it into the logs around the plug, and each log shows that pressure as cracks. A log with three cracks that takes one more push bursts into a brand new leak, often right next to the one you just fixed. So the order matters: plug the leak whose neighbours are calm first, and leave a leak near a badly cracked log open for a moment, because open leaks slowly ease the pressure around them. Twenty dams grow wider and taller, leaks come faster and the rain takes longer. Stars come from how high you kept the pond.
