Kafkahoi is a little shooter game with a special concept of controlling your charaktars.
You are a team of two little asterisks anywhere out in the wild -trying to survive and to collect the little sweet letters of a beautiful poem. One of you is the hunter, killing murderous flies with his sharp arrows and protecting you from a big ugly bug. The other one is the gatherer, never tired to find and collect the precious little letters.
But keep your powder dry! Your two little asterisks are a twirly little bunch, and you cannot control their movements directly -only influence their woozily fuss...
The latest version of this project can be found at : http://github.com/thomst/kafkahoi.

Collect all letters and complete the poem! Kill the flies and lame the bug with your hunter's arrows. But beware of touching them!
The movements of the asterisks are influenced by the position of the mouse. Tip: keep the mouse near the asterisks to minimalize their movements.
