Rug Rats is an updated release of "Wiping" five months after the initial game. The core gameplay is identical but with a few tweaks to the visuals and gameplay. The rug palette is very different, the default high score is 100,000 instead of 30,000, bonus items remain visible throughout gameplay and are all worth 1,000 points, instead of 500 - 1,500 points, collecting all bonus item no longer stuns all remaining monsters as you must first collect the crown (5,000 points) located in the middle of the screen, and the carpet can now be approached and is functional from all angles.
