Cheat Codes Now in the Demo

I just updated the demo here on Steam.

It is still the tutorial training level and level 1, but there is now also a Cheat Menu.

How's it work? Well it takes simple words. But you have to *know* the words. And I put all kinds of wacky, helpful, powerful cheats in there. Letter-case does not matter. Spaces do matter in between words.

Just go to Options->Cheats in the demo to add them. How do you find out the Cheats? You should join the Discord server. Also I will reveal a few sometimes in the newsletter.

I add some cheats on the Discord server.

Okay fine, here's one cheat since you read this far already: show enemy health

But there's more on my Discord, jump over there and let's talk cool games!

Enjoy!
