Initially the product of a few maths classes of boredom, this is a vertically aligned, strictly offline 2-player, not overly configurable bullet hell shooter game; unlike in the typical games of the genre, like the Touhou series, your task is more comparable to that of a typical boss in how you have to shoot those intricate bullet patterns of hard-to-evade barrage - and make sure your opponent gets hit before you.
In case you wonder about the name... in its very first version, the game was single-player rather than multiplayer; instead of shooting at anything, you just had to dodge bullets coming from an ever-increasing amount of the yellow [ ] spots. Eventually, you got hit and greeted by a huge full screen message of "YOU FAIL".
As of 2009-03-05, with a proper user interface of sorts added, configurable controls and lots of polishing here and there, this could be considered somewhat of a formal release. For further information, consult the included readme.txt file.
