Installation:

What you need: 

Python http://www.python.org/download/
Pygame (and depencies) http://pygame.org/download.shtml

Development was done on Python 2.4.1 and Pygame 1.7.1.
The game may not work on older versions.

Uncompress the package to a location of your choosing.

Running the game:

Run the funkyhat.py file (either "python funkyhat.py"
or just "funkyhat.py")

Playing:

Use mouse to draw a line to bounce the hat around. Bouncing the hat
from the line you draw also gives it a speed boost.
Collect food, avoid hazards dropping from the sky. The bubble and cars
won't hurt you, although the bubbles will bounce you. Veikko the Slime 
will give you health, if you hit him when he appears.

Plot:

The game is a tale of a man's epic struggle in a post-apocalyptic world
to come to terms with his choices and an in-depth look into the mental
workings and morals of ... You don't actually believe this do you? It's
just a game, relax :) .

Note:
The game was only tested on Linux machines, but there is no reason it shouldn't
work on any platform Python and Pygame is available on.
