Water Defense is a game in which the player has to manage resources in order to properly meet the needs of a community regarding water consumption. When the game starts the player will be presented with 3 rivers, and as the game moves along, the rivers will start getting more and more polluted. Depending on the kind of pollutant, the player will have to decide on what cleaning tools to build for the proper purification of the water. As the player starts cleaning the water, using tools based on real life techniques, the community in the game will start demanding water from the player, depending on the use for the water will be the level of purity needed from the player. As the player moves forward in the game, he will be educated on different ways of water treatments as well as on the different upgrades on water purification. |
