		When the Going Gets Tough...: The more words you get right, the harder they'll become. But no matter how tough it gets, resist the urge to use words or yell out hints!
		Win a Grand Award!: I will present an Orbulon Award to sketches I find truly outstanding. Weird ones can win too, so give it your best, even if your best is weird.
		Prized Masterpieces: On occasion, I'll add sketches that have won the Orbulon Award to my prized masterpiece collection, which you can win in CLUCK-A-POP.
FRUIT
		Copycat Alert: The townsfolk will sometimes copy the movements of previous thieves! Don't be fooled just because a citizen's moves look suspicious.
		The Ultimate Con: Some of the characters you can pick to play as the thief really stand out. If you can outsmart the agents with one of these folks, you're amazing!
		Using Blind Spots: There are lots of objects that the agents can't see through. Take advantage of these when playing as the thief to sneak past their gaze.
		Mimicking Movements: As the thief, mimicking the moves of those around you can be a good strategy. Try just standing around or walking by a piece of fruit!
ISLANDS
