Cheat Mode#

Cheats can be enabled by starting the game with mrpink command line argument. When successfully activated, red scrolling text on the title screen will change to

hello mum   welcome to cheat spot   written by miles dyson

and the overscan screen border will change its color as well (this effect can not be seen on DosBox, though.)

Cheats are accessed by pressing the corresponding key during the game:

  • 0 - Replenish your health.
  • 1 - Jump to level. First press 1, then key A through Q to jump to the desired level. A-K - normal levels, L-Q - bonus stages.
  • + (Numerical) - Complete the level.
  • M - Toggle gravity and collision checks. Allows one to freely roam across the map and take no damage from enemies.
  • F6 - Increase the COOL.
