In terminal mode you can input various 8 character-long cheat codes: it launches a game with unique effects on top of it (but it also disables saving and achievements :c ).

Here are some that I found to be the most fun:

Attactics: SLOW-DOWN, makes the game turn-based. Huge change, if you ask me.

Devilition: EVIL-EYES, highlights tiles that will be affected by your explosives. Great if you want to play it for fun after completing the game.

Bushido Ball: ZATO-1CHI, makes the ball completely invisible. They hate us.

Campanella: BEAN-DRIP, lets you play through bonus levels.

Warptank: SLIM-TANK, lets you play as a slime. No hub and you can't use checkpoints.

Mortol 2: BENE-DIKT, removes the Scout and Gunner classes from the game. My playthrough was big on Scout so it's hard to imagine beating this game w/o them!

Party House: MAKE-GLEE, lets you create your own scenario!

Valbrace: 4RCH-M4GE, start with 15 WIS but 0 STR.

Valbrace, again: BUGG-BODY, lets you play as a giant insect with powerful claws!

Night Manor: OPEN-CAGE, releases a bloodthristy hamster to crush you!!!

I did not go through the list but... How do you even come across cheat codes? Is it possible in game?

Depends. Some of these are shown at the of credits of some games. One of them I've found on the game's bandcamp page, so there are some hidden outside of the game too.

Still, I have no idea how the majority of them was found.

UFO50 is one of the most astonishing pieces of game design I've ever seen; its a master class in elegance.

I know right? I'd never in my life touch a game like Bushido Ball or Rakshasa but here I am, with 17 hours in the former and 8 hours in the latter!
