All Cheat Codes
Common Commands:
ping
= Returns “Pong!”
hello
= Returns “Hey!”
clear
= Clears the console window of entries
history
= Returns previously entered text in the form of an array (sorted form most recent to least recent)
reload
= Reloads scene (Highly recommended not to use during level, currently softlocks game)
handsfree
= Automatically activates notes (Also sets “clean_game” to false, resulting in no progress, money, score, etc.)
nofail
= missing notes does not take your hearts away (Does NOT effect “clean_game” stat)
hidehud
= Toggles all hud element visibility
fail
= Forces FAIL event
end
= Skips to end of level (If “handsfree” was used, the command will go back to level select, otherwise it goes to successful level end screen and subsequent cutscene)
clearsaveonly

resetsteam

opendata

givemoney [int]
= Adds [int] to your current money amount (e.g. “givemoney 1500” returns “Gave player $1500” and adds $1500 to total money)
setstartingbeat [float]
= Used before entering a level, offsets starting beat (and subsequent beats) by [float] seconds
calculatebeat
= Honestly, not really sure how to use this command
rewind -[int]
= Reloads level at [int] note. Note: “-” is required before [int] otherwise command leads to softlock
setnotespeed [float]
= Sets speed at which notes appear from off screen [Default value is 350, I don’t really recommend changing this, some values can lead to a softlock
