Cheat Codes

 if (false)
 	{
	 if (cheatString == "UUDDLRS")
 	{
 		mc.ActivatePepper();
 		cheatString = "";
 	}
 	else if (cheatString == "LRSTDD")
 	{
  	 	mc.GetHP(100);
 	 	cheatString = "";
 	}
 }

The PlayerUIMaster script reveals two cheat codes. They must be input in the pause menu with either a keyboard or controller, swapping Square with E and Triangle with F:

• Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Square - activate Pepper
• Left, Right, Square, Triangle, Down, Down - full health

In update 2.8, the cheat codes were placed under if (false), which completely disabled them.

Level Menu

After the player has earned the Completionist achievement, a hidden menu called "cheese toolz" can be opened by first holding CTRL and Space, then pressing F11. It temporarily disables Steam achievements and lets you warp to any level and fully complete or reset them individually.

Hidden T-posing Character

While in the title screen, stretching the game window enough reveals a hidden T-posing character on the right.

Unused Sound Effects

1.ogg

Likely an old sound for a pickup.

16.ogg

An old sound for breaking cheese crates.

Retro - Chip Power.ogg

Sound of a cheese crate spawning in the middle of Level Select in NG+. This was in one of the itch.io versions.

Unused Textures

This was used as the preview for the Kitchen level in the first versions, as shown in the bonus video.

Unused Cat Mechanic

One of the bonus videos reveals a scrapped cat mechanic in the Kitchen. Current versions include some leftovers of it.
