• When you select a market category (N), you can scroll through the items available for purchase with coins or diamonds.
• There is a per-island limit for certain market items, indicated in the lower left corner (O) of the item box. If you’ve reached the limit, the item is grayed out and unavailable for purchase.
• View the cost of market items in the upper right of the item box (P).
• You can see a limited preview of items that will become available as you level up (Q).

Structures

• Every island starts with a castle. Select it to access the castle menu.
• The castle produces a bass sound that you can mute (R) and unmute.
• Upgrade the castle (S) to create more beds and allow your monster population to grow.
• Select Memory (T) or Scratch (U) to play the memory and scratch games explained below.
• View castle info (V) to monitor how many beds you have free and how many likes you receive.

• The Mini-mine produces diamonds (G).

Monster Basics

• When a monster is fully incubated in the nursery, a thought cloud (H) with a broken egg shell appears above the egg.
• Choose the thought cloud to hatch the monster and place it on the island (I). You can also flip it to face right or left.
• You receive experience when you place a monster.
• Select the monster to feed it; mute or unmute it; collect coins; move it; sell it; or view its info page.
• When you move a monster, drag it to change its position, and then confirm. You can also adjust its volume with a slider to the left; check the monster in to the hotel; and flip it left or right.
• Create many monsters of the same kind to boost their sound.
• Mute monsters to remove sounds and alter your music.

• On the monster’s info page, you can rename your monster by placing the cursor inside its name box (J), typing a name, and clicking away to save.
• View the coins your monster produces (K). The higher the monster’s level, the more coins it produces. Complex monsters bred from multiple elements earn more than simple monsters.

• The symbols below the monster’s portrait (M) show the elements that make up the monster.

• Some monsters are only available as rare wins on nursery scratch cards.
• Select the breeding structure to choose two monsters level 4 or higher for breeding.
• Observe the elements to the left of each monster’s portrait; they’ll help you pick parents to produce certain combinations.

• Breeding complex monsters doesn’t always work; it may take many tries to breed them successfully.
• You can sometimes breed the same monster type using different combinations of parents.
• The egg produced will still need to incubate in the nursery.

• You can choose four monsters initially or play with four random monsters.

Islands

• You begin with the Plant Island, but you can purchase other islands.
• Selecting the map icon on the main screen allows you to visit your other islands or purchase more. Islands you can’t buy yet are grayed out.

Currency

• Collect coins from your monsters or from goal rewards to buy items at the market, produce food in your bakeries, and upgrade structures.

• Use your bakeries or complete goals to obtain food to level up monsters.
• Shards are used instead of coins on the Ethereal Island.
• In the market, you can obtain coins, diamonds, and food through in-game purchases. You can also exchange currency to get coins, diamonds, and shards.
