[h3]What to expect - New Features[/h3]
1. More Ragamuffins: Make more friends!
2. More Missions: Besides the “Lack of Teeth” there are two extra levels to Clean and Explore!
3. Unlocks added: Upgrades for your gadgets and a new room in your home are waiting for you!
4. Home: Purchase and decorate your home to make your fluffballs as comfortable as they can be!
5. Tutorial Mission: A place to learn the ropes, if this is your first time playing!



[h3]Tips & Tricks[/h3]

As you already know, our mission here in the Ministry of Monster Concealment is to make sure that:
a. All Ragamuffins are safe in a cozy environment surrounded by love.
b. Humans never learn about the existence of Ragamuffins, by cleaning all evidence.

You, as a Custodian working for the Ministry, will be rewarded based on your performance on each mission so you can unlock more gadgets, upgrades and home expansions.

Here are some helpful tips so you can make the most out of the new Missions:
[h3]Cleaning[/h3]
The Mop is your best friend! Keep it clean by using a bucket, and don’t forget to get fresh water from the closet!
Poops can be burned and we’ve already brought boxes so you can transport massive loads with just one trip!

Not all poops are created equal, some do have other attributes. Read here for the full roster.
[h3]Rescuing Ragamuffins[/h3]
Ideally you want to catch Ragamuffins with a trap. This will pacify them (by being comfortable) so you can transport them whenever you want to the closet. Use the Right Mouse button to throw the trap instead of dropping it using the Left Mouse Button.

You can catch Ragamuffin with your gloves, but they don’t like that (they just met you, they haven’t figured out yet that you’re the rescue party), and will continually make a mess until released.

Check out the Monster Encyclopedia on your home to learn more about them!

[h3]Unlocking [/h3]
You can spend the coins you gained on missions on your home, by purchasing extra rooms for you and your fluffy new roommates.
Permanent upgrades for your gadgets can both be purchased in the Ministry’s Monster Workshop (suspiciously looking like a cleaning cabinet) in your home while others can be found in missions for free.

[h3]Decorating[/h3]
Make your house a proper home by purchasing any of the 150+ decorations, furniture and fun items from the Bazaar of Human Stuff conveniently bolted on the wall of your house!

You can buy the same decoration multiple times if you wish!

The only limit is your imagination, and coins earned from each mission. In case you need more coins you can always replay a mission.

Now you are equipped to tackle all the missions in the demo! You can use the closet to pick your next mission, and AFTER finishing the Custodian Exam (you got this, I believe in you), you will unlock the Lack of Teeth and Around the World!

We hope you enjoy the Monster Mop Up demo 2.0! Share your thoughts with us, and feel free to share the news with anyone that would enjoy the game!
