Hello employees! Welcome to another update for Under Contract version 0.4.7! Today we have a brand new gameplay system added to the game along with a bunch of quality-of-life fixes and we squash some very difficult-to-find bugs.
Oh yes, the long-awaited day has arrived. We have now added our arcade mode to Under Contract! Within this mode, players can play levels as long as they like, find tokens in the game, and unlock new sexy selfies of all the characters in Under Contract!
So far we have three levels to choose from each containing new hazards and powerups to use. Go for that top score and try to unlock everything in the shop!
The major reason this patch took so long to release was that we found a difficult-to-replicate bug, which some of the reviews on Steam seemed to reflect. Players would have their levels randomly end. For the life of us, the team could not find the cause for something like this, that was until we played in the arcade game mode.
It turns out that the game was allowing for players to grab falling gems after a cascade event triggers, if the player grabs them as they are falling the gems can sometimes combo in the hand of the player, or the player can grab mismatched gems (like a red and a yellow at the same time). If either event happens the level will just abruptly end.
This along with a bunch of other fixes have been added to the game!

I wanted to take a quick moment to first thank everyone for their patience as we fix up some of these annoying bugs. It has been a while since we patched and we intended to get this one out a lot sooner than we did. Having said that, the next patch is going to be focused on the beginning section of Department 2, aka the Finance Department. Let me just run down some details on what we are doing and the full extent of the content aiming to be in the next patch.
Lots of new content for sure, I would say as a percentage we are mostly done with the narrative, and just focusing on the animations and such.
We hope you all enjoy the new patch! And I hope you can all hold out until the new wave of content is in, we are working hard to get it done ASAP!
Thanks,
Kinky
