     <tip>No hedgehogs were harmed in making this game.</tip>
     <tip>There are three different jumps available. Tap [high jump] twice to do a very high/backwards jump.</tip>
     <tip>Afraid of falling off a cliff? Hold down [precise] to turn [left] or [right] without actually moving.</tip>

     <tip>The Old Limbuger only causes a small explosion. However the wind affected smelly cloud can poison lots of hogs at once.</tip>
-    <tip>The Piano Strike is the most damaging air strike. You'll lose the hedgehog performing it, so there's a huge downside as well.</tip>

     <tip>The Homing Bee can be tricky to use. Its turn radius depends on its velocity, so try to not use full power.</tip>

     <tip>The Hammer is most effective when used on bridges or girders. Hit hogs will just break through the ground.</tip>

-    <tip>The Cake's maximum walking distance depends on the ground it has to pass. Use [attack] to detonate it early.</tip>

+    <tip>Dud mines are not harmless: Although their timer is broken, they can still explode if they took to much abuse!</tip>
+    <tip>Love is hot! Use Seduction to thaw frozen hedgehogs.</tip>
+    <tip>Smoke coming from a barrel is an indicator that it is low on “health” and even small amounts of damage might cause it to burst.</tip>
+    <tip>Barrels start with 60 health and take damage like hedgehogs, so they need some abuse until they explode.</tip>
+    <tip>Need more bounce power? Change the bounce strength of grenades, cluster bombs, old limburgers and mines while holding [precise] and pressing one of the timer keys.</tip>
+    <tip>Did you forget the goals or game modifiers inside the game? Hit the pause or quit key to review them again!</tip>
+    <tip>You can punch, whip and hammer other things than just hedgehogs. Hit them all!</tip>
+    <tip>If not mentioned otherwise, mines normally explode after 3 seconds.</tip>
+    <tip>In King Mode, your king will start out healthier, stronger and more resistant to damage and blows than the minions.</tip>
+    <tip>In King Mode, the king will take damage each turn when there are no minions left in the team.</tip>
+    <tip>The whip also hits hedgehogs and objects behind a thin wall.</tip>
+    <tip>A cleaver deals more damage the faster it’s moving.</tip>
+    <tip>You can drop cakes from cliffs, but you have to stand very close to the edge, so be careful.</tip>

+    <tip>In the lands of Snow and Christmas, the snow piles up over time, unless the land is indestructible.</tip>
