This is a variation of that well-known game Mastermind, which you either like or you don't.

In this version, the variations consist mainly of insults to the human race in general and the player in particular.

To play the game, you choose either a colour or a numerical code, with either four or five colours or digits in the code. You also have a choice of up to nine characters or colours in the code.

After choosing heads or tails for who (which?) goes first, you have up to 20 guesses.

The answer to your guess is a two-digit code. The first digit indicates the number of digits or colours in the guess which are correct, and in the right place. The second digit indicates how many digits or colours are correct, but in the wrong order. If you make a mistake you are told about it in no uncertain terms.

The graphics are nothing spectacular, and a major programming fault is the unnecessary display of the playing board at times, together with "press enter to continue".
