Mail falls like bullets
You are the cursor: fire to read it, let the good mail through and split the rest into lanes.
What it does
Inbox0 is a bullet-hell roguelite drawn as a mail client. Mail pours down the inbox, and you fly the cursor with the mouse and hold the button to fire and mark it read.
Filter rules split the inbox into lanes, so you know where to fire and where to hold. Junk has to die before it reaches the bottom, and your coworkers' good mail has to get there.
Between shifts you pick rules, most of them with a catch, Payday opens a shop at the end of every week, and every Friday a boss arrives with a deadline.

Only your own shots delete
Your pointer's shots can delete good mail; the side cursors' shots pass through it.

The Archive burst
The right mouse button fires the Archive burst, with a charge ring by your cursor.

Same seed, same shift
A shift is a pure function of its seed, the tuning and your moves, bit for bit.
