DUDE & DADDYWhat’s New
Every update to the game, newest first. This is the same list you see inside the game on the main menu under What’s New.
🧱 v29 · Rock SolidLATEST
- 🏬 A brand-new front door: six big tiles instead of a mile-long list. Rusty approves. Rusty approves of everything.
- 🖥️ Graphics: Auto, High, Low or Lowest — the store now runs on the oldest tablet in the house. The zombies were not consulted.
- 🔐 The burglar's secret list is sealed until it's stolen. Not even a clerk host can peek. (We checked. We tried.)
- 🔗 Move your scores to another device with a one-time code. 🎮 itch.io now opens the real store, keeping your scores safe.
- 🛒 Back in a Grand Prix? You keep your lap. 🏗️ Built stores reach your friends faster, and old Speed-Clean bests come along.
- 🧱 Every known leftover swept up, the online side checked at every door, and 30-minute stress tests for every mode.
🌍 v28 · Out in the Wild
- 🌍 The store has its own address now: cleanuponaislescream.com. Anyone can clock in. Anyone. Even him. Especially him.
- 🏠 The family site, with its own 🏠 Family boards — sign in with your email and your scores follow you onto any device.
- 📦 Scores from the old page came along in the moving van. Find yours under "These are mine" (please don't claim Dad's).
- 📱 Add it to your iPad's Home Screen: its own icon, full screen, solo nights with no Wi-Fi — and ⚡ it runs about twice as fast. The zombies do too. Sorry.
- 📁 One file to copy to any computer and double-click. 🎮 And a page on itch.io, for when the whole internet needs a night job.
- 🚩 Report a rude name or a suspicious score, and the owner takes a look. 🔒 Nothing kept but a nickname and your scores.
🧹 v27.1 · Fix-up & Polish 6
- 🛒 Cart Race ghosts moved into their own garage. Your Speed-Clean ghosts can finally stop being haunted by shopping carts.
- 🛒 Friend left the Grand Prix? A rival hops into their cart, mid-lap. Rusty has always wanted a promotion.
- ⏱️ Co-op Speed-Clean: everyone taps GO and the countdown skips. No more tapping your foot.
- 🎵 The safe floor glows on the minimap too. You're welcome, wet socks.
- 🍌 Banana patches stay slippery when the host changes. Physics is physics.
- 🏗️ Boards for built stores you don't have, old shared stores that stay with their builder, and no more 0-point runs on the boards.
🎮 v27 · More Mini-Games
- 🛒 Cart Race: three laps of the store on a shopping cart. Hold SPACE round the corners to drift, let go for TURBO. Rusty has been practising.
- ⏱️ …or a Time Trial: just you, the clock and your 👻 ghost. Your ghost does not brake. Neither should you.
- 🧹 Mop Tag: 🔥 Hot Mop (hold it the least to win) and ❄️ Freeze Tag with Mop Ghost Maurice. He is very good at this. He has had a long time to practise.
- 🚨 Wet Floor Is Lava: the toilets overflow and you must NOT touch the floor. Or the PA calls the safe tiles and soaks the rest. Cones are your friends.
- 🧺 Stock Rush: boxes off the truck and onto the right shelf before they go off — or put the toppled shelves back. No, the bread does not go with the cans.
- 👥 All of it in co-op, eight new badges (89!), the Racing Stripe and Stock Boy aprons, the Hot Mop, four new tags and a new tune, "Aisle Rally".
🧹 v26.1 · Fix-up & Polish 5
- 🍌 The banana patch is now a proper slip-n-slide: 6 seconds of everybody skidding. Zombies hate this one trick.
- 🛡️ Zombies can smash your turrets now — so hold SPACE to fix turrets, boards and barricades. The sample lady is fine. Mostly.
- ⏱️ Speed-Clean shows every job on the map, and C says GO. Edited your built store? Fresh course, fresh records.
- 🦃 Tom and 🐣 Peep stay up with you until 6 AM on their big night. Nobody told them about bedtime.
- 💘 Smitten in co-op? Mash SPACE three times. Love is temporary. Mopping is forever.
- 🎉 Holiday decorations in Zombie Mode and More Modes, teammates get their holiday badges, and lots of little squeaks oiled.
🎉 v26 · Four Holiday Nights
- 🎉 A new 🎉 Holidays row on the menu: all six holiday nights, open all year, the nearest one on top.
- 🦃 Thanksgiving: the pie rush, runaway frozen turkeys, the Gobbler, and Black Friday at 3:00 AM. Turkeys are now 40% more aerodynamic.
- 🎆 New Year's Eve: get the store party-ready by midnight… and again… and again. The clock has been asked to stop doing that.
- 💘 Valentine's: bouquets, candy hearts that say U SMELL, singing cards, and the Ghost Bride after midnight. Fixed a bug where Cupid was hitting the manager. That was on purpose.
- 🐰 Easter: dye eggs, build baskets, hunt glowing eggs (one in five is rotten) and keep an eye on the Hollow Bunny. Only when the lights blink, though.
- 👥 All four in co-op too, with sixteen new costumes, 24 new badges (81!), four bonus tunes and a dressed-up store on each real day. Also four new secret words (we're not saying which… GOBBLE).
🧹 v25.1 · SCREAM fix-ups
- 🛒 Fixed: shoppers who shouted while someone else was talking no longer vanish into thin air.
- 🥚 Tapping a secret on a report card or the milk carton no longer skips the screen. Look all you like.
- ⏸ Pop-ups wait while you pause. They're polite like that.
- 👻 Maurice's cleaning tips now get out of the way when a burglar has something to say.
- 🍬 The candy trap is a burglar talking, not a trick-or-treater. The kids would never.
- 🎬 Reduce motion keeps the credits rolling.
🏷️ v25 · The SCREAM update
- ⚠️ New look! A WET FLOOR logo, Rusty the cart mascot and store paperwork everywhere: receipts, pink slips, a milk carton (please don't be on it).
- 🎭 Meet the cast: Employee Files and WANTED posters for everyone who works, shops or lurks here.
- 🗣️ Everyone talks now — with their own voice and a pop-up so you know who's yelling. (It's usually The Butcher.)
- 📜 Press J (or tap 📜) for the activity log: what just happened, who said it, and why you're running.
- 🆕 Three new faces: Rusty the cart, Mop Ghost Maurice, and a Store Intercom who is SO bored of you.
- 🥚 Twelve secrets are hiding in the menus and screens. Mr. Whiskers knows where. He won't tell.
🧹 v24.1 · More Modes co-op fixes
- 🐛 Fixed: a second round of co-op More Modes now starts clean instead of with last round's mess.
- 🛡️ Defend the Store fits in the room now (the snapshots went on a diet).
- 🧽 Small squeaks oiled all over the place.
🎮 v24 · More Modes
- 🙈 Hide-and-Seek: hide from The Butcher, the mannequins or the Snow Stalker — or grab a flashlight and go find five creatures.
- ⏱️ Speed-Clean: you, a mop, a stopwatch and a ghost of your best run. Gold, silver or bronze.
- 🛡️ Defend the Store: guard the cash office with boards, banana traps and a turret that throws free samples.
- 👥 All three work in co-op. Whoever gets found in Hide-and-Seek has to seek too. No hard feelings.
- 🏅 Nine new badges, Camo and Security aprons, a Feather Duster and a Turbo Squeegee.
🏗️ v23 · Builder Add-ons + ⭐ Store of the Week
- 🏗️ Build with pieces from the other stores: a pharmacy, hamsters, garden gnomes, a gas pump, a jukebox, a drive-in screen.

- ✂️ Select, copy, paste, flip and stamps — plus a 2-minute test night before you share it.
- ⭐ Store of the Week: the most-starred store gets its own banner and board. Never twice in a row.
🧹 v22.1 · Fix-up & Polish 3
- 🎄 Christmas Eve works with a front door in any wall (the snow pile finally knows where to go).
- 🍭 The candy-cane hook checks a hiding spot from 2.5 tiles away. Burglars: be afraid of candy.
- 🎁 A wrapped present stuns any burglar. It's the thought that counts.
- 🏗️ The Store Builder gets a 🎁 present pile and a "shelf on the sales floor" check.
🎄 v22 · Christmas Eve + 🏗️ the Store Builder
