My submission for the Ludum Dare 50 Compo.

A short, yet challenging "slash-em-up" loosely based on the story of "The Hero of Haarlem" in Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates, where you must delay the collapse of a dike long enough for everyone in the town beneath it to avoid being flooded. But beware! A swarm of angry storm spirits is trying to stop you! Use your mouse to swing your sword, and hold down left click to charge up a devastating slash capable of slaying even the toughest spirits.
