I love Katamari Damacy!!

If you haven't played Katamari Damacy before, I recommend that you try to play it. It's freaking addictive. The aim of the game might sound lame, but it's actually quite fun. What you do is, you control the Prince, the son of the King of the Cosmos. Somehow, the King of the Cosmos destroyed all the stars in the universe, and you are assigned the job to bring back the stars. How are you gonna do that? By using a very sticky ball called the Katamari. You'll go around rolling things up (only those which are smaller than your Katamari). As you roll up more stuff, your Katamari will grow, giving you more varieties of objects to roll up. Eventually, you can even roll up humans! It's quite amusing when they scream right when they get stuck in your Katamari. XD

Oh, it doesn't stop there. There's one level which allows you to roll around the world!! If your Katamari is big enough, you can roll up buildings, clouds, tornadoes, whirlpool, cruise liners, you name it! Ultimately, you can even roll up islands and wipe out the face of the Earth!



After each level, the Katamari will be thrown up and turned into a star or a constellation depending on the level. All the levels have specific goals. The main levels (those that create stars or the Moon) require you to grow your Katamari to the needed size in the given time limit, ranging from a short 5 minutes to a long 25 minutes, to advance. I've got to say, the last level, the one that creates the Moon was 25-minutes of SUPER FUN! Well, when you just only start the level, you can't really roll many stuff. But one your Katamari is as big as a building, whoa!! Watch out! The game has it's own way of measuring the size of the Katamari. The size is stated in metric units, you know, meters, centimeters, yada yada. In the last level, when you start, your Katamari is only 1 meter big. The goal of the level is to grow your Katamari until it is 300 meters! That's very big! Hence, the long duration of play time in that level. The first time I played I couldn't manage it. It was freaking hard. Then the second time, I really improved! I got until 800+ meters! There's practically nothing left on Earth in the end!

You should try to play it! It's very fun.


If you are wondering what BGM is playing in the background, it's the Katamari Damacy theme. It's quite catchy, don't you think?
