8-bit Panda has you collect bamboo and kill enemies while going through 17 levels distributed among six "isles". The game was released on the TIC-80 website and became the most popular title in its Games category.
Debug Menu#
Hold X and press Up (×4), Down (×2). Due to the way the method of accessing the debug menu is coded, pressing Down (×42) also works.
Use Up and Down to cycle through the options listed below, Left and Right to select a level, and A to select the option.
- Warp to test lvl - sends the player to the final level.
- Warp to Lx - takes the player to the selected level.
- End lvl - beats the current level. Attempting to use this on the title screen will return a syntax error in the console's command line.
- Grant super pwup - same as collecting a diamond bamboo.
- Fly mode - if set to ON, the player flies rather than walking or jumping. Hold A to fly faster. Can be turned off by pressing B or beating the current level.
- Invuln mode - if set to ON, makes the player invulnerable to enemies until the level is beaten. As with "End lvl", this returns a syntax error if used on the title screen.
- Unpack Lx and Pack Lx - store and synchronize level data respectively, using TIC-80 map slots "0,0" through "7,0". However, these cannot be done in-between levels of different map sizes.
- Clear PMEM - erases the data containing the player's top isle.
- Win the game - warps the player directly to the ending screen.
- Lose the game - runs the player out of lives and presents the Game Over screen.
