At any point during gameplay, press F9 and F10. A message will appear saying "cheat on" and the following will happen:

  • Three bars will appear on the top-left. The white bar represents the amount of time processing a frame, the red bar represents how much time it took to copy a frame to the hardware buffer, and the green bar represents how much time it took to calculate the game's physics and logic. Each vertical pixel bar represents one millisecond.
  • The top-middle will show how far the player is into the game.
  • A few cheats are available to the player - press F5 to help for these during gameplay:
    • F6 - Go to the next wave.
    • F7 - Upgrade Weapon.
    • F8 - Extra Life.
