Debug Menu

The Debug Menu includes a variety game options, many of which allow the player to do things they couldn't without the menu. The debug menu is sometimes referred to as the "developer's console".

Opening the Debug Menu

1. Go to the "Game Settings" option in the main tab
2. Click on "Settings" in the window that opens (has the same gear icon)
3. Find the burger icon (top-left of window) and click on it 11 times. File:IconBurger10x.png
4. After that, you will be able to see a new icon in the top-right of your screen.

When you click on it the Debug Menu will open. Yay! Opening the Debug Menu for the first time will unlock the "God Mode" achievement.

Trivia

• At the bottom of the debug menu you can find a text box that says "Can't catch them all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯". You can click this text to cause it to fall off the menu. The text box is talking about the sheep around the menu which get will avoid your cursor. It gets harder to click these sheep the less there are. It seems to be impossible to get all of the sheep
• Trunk and Burger heads were added in version 0.6.187. They were called Poncho's burger heads and Glonk's trunk heads.
