From the README

A debug-hell shoot 'em up. You are the cursor. The machine is on fire. Every bug in history has crawled out of the stack, and it is shooting at you.

children (for (;;) recurse();), goto bullets that wrap across the screen, merge-conflict walls, bullets that never free themselves (malloc()), twin bosses sharing one HP bar, a Heisenbug that slows down when you observe it, a Blue Screen of Death, and the final survival exception: The Halting Problem.

(STREAK), and OVERCLOCK — spend graze-filled cache to slow time; enemies you kill while overclocked turn their bullets into gold.
