Gameplay
The screen represents a kitchen where Mrs. Mopp moves around. Dirt, cups, glasses and clothes accumulate on the floor, blocking her progress. She must pick up one of the appropriately coloured tools around the room (basket, tray, or dustpan and brush) and use it to collect the mess. When the character sprite flashes, the tool must be emptied into the appropriate part of the kitchen (washing machine, sink, or bin).
When Mrs. Mopp gets tired, she can revive herself by having a swig of sherry. If she drinks too much, she will become tipsy at first (reversed controls), then drunk (random movement).
