Cheats are features that make the game easier, which are activated upon pressing the correct button. They have been included in all games since Chicken Invaders (DX Version), except for Universe. Most versions, including Steam, mobile, and from other websites remove this feature. They are only available on versions purchased from the InterAction studios website.
It's advised to not use them unless you're completely stuck, because they take away the challenge and fun the games have. Using them will also prohibit you from getting high scores, Awards, Unlockables, and Keys for the remainder of the current mission.
How to Unlock
Chicken Invaders (DX Version)
As this game doesn't really have a proper menu, cheats are unlocked with the Debug Mode. To use cheats, simply press F9 and F10 at the same time.
The Next Wave and onwards (except for Universe)
Cheats here first have to be enabled in the Gameplay menu in the options. They will be available as soon as you start/continue your mission.
Note: This option is only available in the full registered versions of these games purchased directly from the InterAction studios website, as they are greyed out in the free demos. This also cannot be found in Steam version and/or other third party game download sites. It is also unavailable in 'Universe' due to the game being free to play.
Cheat List
Chicken Invaders (DX Version)
This game's cheats are a bit different compared to other games. As usual, it has four of them.
Games made on UveXX and later versions of the Ultra VGA Engine include additional cheats made purely for debugging, which are normally inaccessible. You can read more about them here.
