Greetings! This update addresses some bugs and issues that were mentioned in our community hub during this past week. Thank you to those who posted and let us know how our game can be improved. Also, we have made progress on Linux support... so keep your eyes peeled for that big update coming soon!
Patch Notes
Fixes
- Game no longer auto-pauses when the app is unfocused (thanks for bringing this to our attention in the community hub!)
- You can no longer interact with the game while it is not the active application
- Updated Background Movement setting to also toggle bacteria eyes movement
- Fixed bug causing soft-lock when app is unfocused during grid generation
- QA for Linux completed
- When the app regains focus, sometimes all the sfx played while the app was out of focus will play to catch up. If you plan on playing the game in windowed mode, and will be toggling between it and other apps, we recommend turning off sfx until we can resolve this bug
- Some minor visuals don't update correctly while the app is out of focus (they seem to fix themselves when you focus on the app)
If you find any issues or bugs, please do not hesitate to post in the forums and let us know immediately

Hello! This update is a very small, quick update to fix an important feature: Leaderboards. Now, when you look at a leaderboard, it will show you the top 50 entries on the list. We will look into adding a button that allows you to see the full leaderboard as well. Also, we wanted to announce that Linux support is coming soon!
Patch Notes
Fixes
- Leaderboards now show 50 entries instead of 9
- When you open a leaderboard, if you are within the top 50 entries, the scroll view will try to scroll to your entry
- Leaderboards in-game have also been updated slightly
- The bacteria bonus stat shown in the level info panel seems to be stuck at 100
- Sometimes, when scrolling to your entry in the leaderboard view, it will not always scroll to the right location.

Today is the day...
We are incredibly excited to release our first game today. Containment will be going live at noon (EST), and we hope that you all enjoy this game. We've been working very hard to ensure that, in spite of it's short play time, the content is as polished and fun as possible.
Problems? Talk to us!
We care about our games, and we want to make sure you have a good experience playing them. If you're running into a problem, do not hesitate to post in the community hub or send us an email at info@finitereflection.com. We've listed a few bugs below that we are aware of, so please bear with us while we try to address them in an update soon.
Release Notes
Known Bugs
- Leaderboards don't update immediately. Steam is saving everyone's scores, but it takes a while for our UI to respond. Might be related to slow internet issues, so we are looking into a solution that saves scores locally for immediate viewing.
- Some resolutions result in weird visual bugs (stay away from 4:3 resolutions for now)
- Some of our Spanish translations may not be perfect, please let us know if anything is wrong and we will address it asap.
- Fixed research UI disappearing beyond Beginner level
- Added localization for all tutorial pieces
- Finalized credits
- Fixed accents from rendering poorly (like "é")
- Research mechanic is hidden until the appropriate level

The Game includes VR Support
Containment Linux [134.12 M]
Containment is a small, minimalist strategy/simulation game where you try to maintain the growth of bacteria. The core gameplay is easy to pick up but very challenging to master. The game can be completed in one sitting, but has leaderboards and challenging goals to accomplish that might take longer!
Core Gameplay
Containment is turn-based; the bacteria proliferate, you fight back, and the cycle continues. There are a number of rules that give depth to the strategy involved in achieving three stars on each level:- You have a limited number of dosages
- Intentionally ending your turn early and letting the bacteria grow lets you research stronger antibiotics
- All bacteria lose one health per turn
- Any bacteria without neighbors die the next turn
- Every isolated bacteria gains you bonus points
- Each extra dosage at the end of the game earns you bonus points
Aesthetic
The game features a mix of cute and sleek design with a visually pleasing color palette and satisfying interactions in every corner. The music is soothing and relaxing to listen to while you battle the unending bacterial proliferation.Content
The game contains the following amount of content:- Comprehensive and interactive tutorial
- 9 brain-teasing and challenging levels
- A creative sandbox mode (unlocked at the end of the game)
