      How to play

      Every day there's a new landscape, a set of pieces in a fixed order, and rain that lands in the same places at the same times for everyone. Hold as much of it as you can.

      1. Place each piece in turn. A block raises the ground it covers by one; a digger lowers it by one. Drag the piece (or tap a spot) to move it, then press Place. With a mouse, click to place. ⟳ Piece (R or Shift) turns it.
      2. Drag anywhere else on the board to turn it: across to spin it round, up and down to tilt it, so you can see behind walls. ⤾ View (V) swings it a quarter turn.
      3. Rain lands after some pieces: the queue shows when and how much, and the droplets on the board show where, with how many turns until each falls (next lands as soon as you place this piece). Water runs downhill and pools in hollows. When a hollow's full it spills over its lowest point.
      4. Water that reaches the edge of the board is lost, so a lake needs walls all round it. Water only runs straight across, not diagonally, so walls can meet at a corner.
      5. Raising ground under water pushes the water up, and it can spill.
      6. Your score is the share of the day's rain still on the board after the last drop. Every day can be held 100%, though it takes some finding. You get three tries, with the same pieces and rain each time; the best counts. Once they're used up you can see one way to hold it all.
