I found debug mode

Not sure if this was intended to be in the final build, hope the developer can confirm it, because I'm curious!

To access it, you pause, go to Encyclopedia, and press H on the keyboard. It will bring up a menu with a level select in the first page, toggles for all abilities in the second page, and toggles for various flags and events in the third page.

All the cool oldschool games have cheats. I think he should leave it in.

Thoughts on locking it behind gathering all mushrooms or somesuch?

Nah, that defeats the purpose of using it as a 'cheat'. Just give it a funny button combo and leave it.

Huh, neat has test maps too, though the last one doesn't have geometry. Some of the music sounds unique compared to the other levels but not sure.

Notably this is also a way to redo the final boss fight, might help those who got stuck from saving and quitting, at least until a patch happens, though not sure if the dialog doesn't show up because my save file has the final boss beaten already or if accessing it from the debug menu does that.

Oh I haven't, played the game yet, are mushrooms not important?
I'm waiting for the steam cloud to be fixed before I dig in.

Mushrooms are somewhat important but you only need like a quarter of them I believe, getting them all would still be extra and even then if that's not enough of a challenge could say you need all cards maybe.

Heck, I'd take locking it behind 100% completion would, but I just said mushrooms because I figured folks might want a lower bar. If the issue's somehow a bar not high enough, we can certainly adjust more upward!

I don't really mind either way.
It's just if cheats are going to be there I'd rather they be usable as opposed to just a post game mess around tool.

...how is a post game mess around tool not usable exactly? You're not makin' sense to me yet.

"Now that you've unlocked all the levels, you've unlocked the cheat code LEVEL SELECT!"

Maybe there are some real winners in there I don't know of, but even in the circumstances where the postgame unlocks are great, usually people use them for 5 minutes, say neat, then turn the game off.

If you don't want there to be cheats at all, no harm no foul, it's just if they are there they should stand some chance of being used to actually do something before you've already finished the game.
