A Hat in Time (2017)
Queen Vanessa hunting you after mission ends: I saw this happen only once, and it terrified me. When my cousin was playing A Hat in Time, he got to the end of the Vanessa mansion mission, but on the frame that he collected the hourglass, he paused and unequipped a badge (I think it was the anti bonk one). Then he unpaused, and the victory animation finished. When the ship hub loaded, there was no music and he had to avoid Vanessa in the ship, but even more intelligently than during the actual mission. We had to turn off the game for the day. —Paras
There are a couple of cheats you can enter with the "favorite sequence of letters and numbers" crow in the Murder on the Owl Express level. Most of the cheats only last to the end of the level.
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
| PIDGEON | Increased jump height. |
| BOWLER | Replace the detective hat with a bowler hat. |
| BANJO | The potion hat readies faster. |

Dead End Road (2016)
Wishing for certain things will change what ending you get. You'll know a word has an effect because it changes blue after submitting it. But, there are words that will have an effect despite not changing colors. Juice, for instance, will increase the chance of barrels in the road. My favorite is armor, which makes your fuel last slightly longer. —Arthur
C
Crusader Kings III (2020)
If you send your steward to the holding of noble who owes you 10 favors, you will gain 3 times the normal amount of wealth from that county. —Pecan
M
Minecraft (2011)
Many players are familiar with the random text that appears beside the Minecraft logo on the title screen. On certain days, namely Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, there is a 1% chance that the text will read "now with chocolate chip!" —Jeepers.
During a warden attack, inputting the Konami code backwards thirty times will instantly kill the warden, as long as you are fast enough. This can be done on controller or keyboard (on the keyboard, use Enter for start and Space for select —Josh Crazen.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (2018)
Visiting all Nurse and Magic shops in order of left to right on the map will unlock more versatile teleportation ability, but it consumes hearts to use. If it doesn't work the first time, this can be because you are missing a shop. —Sk8rDude92
Foximus's hitbox: Foximus, despite being a friendly NPC, has a 1 pixel hitbox about two player-heights above him and can be attacked. —Justin Bailey
The heavy boots can be made weightless by talking to the cat lady in Lupia village 1000 consecutive times. —Charlie

One Hour One Life (2018)
Better controls: Being the murderer of your village's five eldest will grant you a permanent new setting that enables more streamlined controls. You get an inventory bar and intuitive keyboard-based controls (Q for drop, E for activate). You get to keep this setting for all future lives. However, if you miss an elder or they die from other causes, you have to start over again. Very worth it. —SrYum
Longevity: Similar to the above, being the murderer of your village's ten youngest will grant you extended life (it appears to be 5x). It's odd that the game seems to encourage uncooperative play, but it is what it is. —SrYum
R
RimWorld (2018)
Not a cheat, more of a resource management tip, but it's possible for a hungry colonist to very efficiently extract food from a nutrition dispenser by using drafting and pausing. Used this to feed animals with nutrition paste. —Army Lloyd
U
UFO 50 (2024)
Bushido Ball: There is a secret character, Hayate, that can only be unlocked if you win 8 games in a row without using your character's dash ability. —Gourmet Fred
Mini and Max: Dog duplication & attic. It is possible to duplicate Max by getting him stuck under 3 pink bacteria (the kind that eats blocks) and then calling him with your whistle. A duplicated Max can be used to clip through a ceiling tile above Cecilia T. Fang the spider and reach the attic. —Charlie
Onion Delivery: Skidding is your friend. Hold both face buttons at the some time while moving at high-speed to initiate a skid. This'll make for sharp turnarounds, a timesaver if your objective is behind you. —PumpkinKing
Onion Delivery: You can actually catch and enter a UFO if you time a ramp jump correctly. Not only does this let you ignore walls, it also gives you a new terminal code when you beat the run. —Gourmet Fred
Pingolf: The dunk ability is for more than just style. Dunking on a forward incline can give you the extra speed boost you need to get under par. Conversely, dunking on a backward incline can set you back significantly, so try to avoid it. —Charlie
W
Warcraft III (2002)
Empty Moon Well advantage: Moon Wells are the Night Elf faction's food producer. Once you deplete their mana, you may think that they can't do anything. However, a very real advantage is that invisible enemy units can be heard when in proximity to an empty Moon Well. —ArthasFanboy
Y
Yooka-Laylee (2017)
Secret power: One of Yooka's most used abilities is eating berries to absorb their element. However, there's a lesser known power that is only present in one level. If you go to Glitterglaze Glacier and go to the area where Dr. Puzz is standing, then walk to the back of the transformation raygun. Now, walk toward the base of the transformation raygun. It may take a few attempts, but if you get it right, you will clip into the ground and land in some water. From here, you should be able to rotate the camera and see where the secret berry bush is. It will have a purple color, and allow Laylee to take over as primary. —V. Banta
Third expansion to Moodymaze Marsh: If you roll in a circle around the large octopus-shaped boss building, then return to the level spawn without jumping, a new shopping cart NPC will appear and offer to expand the world. —Sanjay Kumar
