Contraption Zack is a very quirky flip-screen puzzle game, where even the mildest screw-up can result in having to start a level all over again.

Unused Text

Rube's STUCK (Press ! to reset...)

This text is hidden in the uncompressed executable at 1F358. It likely would have been used if the player got stuck. In the final game, there's no text indicating whether the player does get stuck.

Auto-Playing...

While there is a command line argument named SelfPlay, this only dumps the player into the game and skips the intro.

microphonic sublimation rules across the land
needles in my forehead forces me to stand 
sinister deformations police the outer limits
i am forced fed chicken scraps by their numerous digits

This weird piece of poetry can be found in introend.prs at 0x17377F.

"Zack the machine is fucked up!!!"

Obviously unused piece of profanity hidden in introend.prs at 0x165A1D.

Debugging Options

God Message
Toolz!
Booger 
Mid Movies!
Win!

Some options mixed in with those that are normally visible in the Pause/Escape menu can be seen in the uncompressed executable at 1E45E. However, there are no known ways to see these options.
