Why not Early Access?
While most other games in this genre have done Early Access, we chose to release in v1.0 to signal to players that a complete story is already in place! In that sense, we consider the game finished, and wouldn't want to set the wrong expectation with an EA launch.

Will more content be added?
If the game sells well, we'll happily expand it further!

What? This EXISTS? All of this!?

It is literally impossible to find any of this information using google search.

What has become of our modern internet?

What is even the point of having search engines?

I would love to! If the game is popular enough, for sure.

Are any of you willing to add cheat codes? (ex: change textures, infinite spendable points, gags, etc.)

There is a developer console you unlock after beating the game. You can see that as sort of a cheat code! To activate it, you press Tab and F1 at the same time. This will activate "Cheater" mode and disable Achievements and Highscores until you restart or go back to the main menu. Press F1 again to open the console now that you're a cheater, and then you can type stuff. Press Escape to close this menu.

Typing in game:
set obj_player powerup_core 9999 will give you 9999 cores, for example.
set obj_player powerup_engine 9999 will give you 9999 engines.
create obj_boss_rabbit will summon the rabbit boss.
set obj_control fast_forward_mod 4 will double the speed of fast forward.

Typing on main menu:
set obj_stat_track overdrive 99 will let you play on Overdrive 99.
set obj_settings opt_screenshake 999 will let you play with 999x screenshake.

Gamemaker is set up to run on capped framerates, unfortunately!

Woah, time to repeatedly summon those bosses I need to practice (tell Biker he is not lame, he is just a cheater)
