OVERVIEW

 KOG is meant to be an immediately enjoyable and funny game - you start it and,
 one second later, you play it. The mechanics require good eye perception and
 quick reflexes, and become familiar quickly.
 The basic idea is to catch objects moving at different speeds with a trap.

 For detailed information, please refer to the website.


LATEST CHANGES

 * Rewritten shooting policy:
    * made it 100% fair;
    * made it indipendent from the actual trap speed, to make the speed-up extra
      a pure bonus without negative side effects;
    * changed delay logic to make keep the rhythm up.
 * Modified extras:
    * added guide;
    * made decelerator more powerful (now the objects speed is reduced by 2/3
      instead of 1/2);
    * removed rule that objects can be rescued only once (now objects can be
      made rescuable again after they have been kicked back);
    * rearranged order and thresholds.
 * Set extras meter penalty to 1/2 (instead of 1/3) - this, together with the
   new extras thresholds, produces lots of gain/misses, making the game pace
   more frantic, full of ups & downs.
 * Robotized speech samples.
 * Added display of positive balance of extras meter after the last extra has
   been obtained.
 * Centered graphics in full screen.
 * Reworked video modes menu hints.
 * Fixed some bugs.
 * Added high resolution graphics to Windows icon.
 * Optimized rotation routines.
 * Built against the latest private and public libraries.
 * Made various other changes.
