Summary
The Cracker of Doom (GUOS65033) is an item from the swirls era of the Gothic Universe of Shapes series. It was created on the 12th January 2015 using Microsoft Excel 2007.

The Cracker of Doom was originally intended to be part of the techie era, which is evident from it's techie style patterns. But as soon as I'd assembled ten shapes that would make the full house techie treasure set, I felt something that could only mean one thing - the techie era was now finished and I had to start a new era.

I was originally unsatisfied with the finished product of the Cracker of Doom, and was initially going to give it some more finishing touches using Adobe Photoshop. But the techie era, the era the Cracker of Doom was originally intended for focused strictly on being made using Microsoft Excel. And in any case all I needed was a good night's sleep to realise that the Cracker of Doom did not need any more further editing before I could consider it "complete".

The Cracker of Doom was paired with the Kysheni Dzhynsiv (кишені джинсів) (GUOS65042) as a 2-Item Set on the 11th February 2015.

On the 1st May 2015, the Cracker of Doom was featured as a bonus item for the May 2015 re-issue of the "Swirls of Darkness" full house set, which was originally issued on the 12th February 2015. On the 1st June 2015, the Cracker of Doom was featured as a bonus item for the June 2015 re-issue of the "Swirls of Darkness" full house set.

On the 29th July 2015, the Cracker of Doom was included on the "The Complete Swirls Era" full house compilation set. On the 25th, 26th, and 27th January 2017, the re-worked version of the Cracker of Doom with a more accurate cracker shape was made.
