Containment - The Zombie Puzzler - PC Game Review
Containment - The Zombie Puzzler, is an interesting match puzzle game. Instead of colored blocks, you have zombies and several "colors" of humans - representing scientists, soldiers, cops or punks. You use these to surround the zombies, which are then killed by the humans.
You also get a few toys on the ways - sniper shots, grenades, suits resistant to zombie attacks, Molotov cocktails and big objects to drop on them.
The campaign does a pretty good job of teaching the basics of the game. It only last about half an hour - after that you have survival mode - which has several "blocks" of zombies which you must take on. You have to restart the whole survival block at once - I had to once I was on block 20 of 20 blocks, and I was quite annoyed!
For some weird reason, in the survival mode there are also witches (!?!?!). They just block the path (and require containment with any other zombies), but don't infect the humans.
The real weak points of the game are levels that are at times too difficult and effectively unsolvable (blocks that are too large to be contained anymore), and zombies dropping from everywhere.
But overall, I really liked the game - specially for the tiny price today on Steam (US$3). Recommended for match-3 game fans, with the understanding the the pace of the game is quite fast.
Update: finished the whole campaign this time - the first time I got thrown to the main menu while thinking I finished it. It "explains" the silly witch zombies, and also presents a huge ape zombie...

I think you may have missed acts 2 and 3 in the campaign. They introduce the new zombies you face in survival.
Thanks for the tip.
