Amazing Katamari Damacy Series: Roll With It

A puzzle video game series where you control the Katamari, rolling and growing it to create massive objects within a time limit, with environments to explore and challenges to overcome.

What is AMAZING KATAMARI DAMACY (Series)?

Amazing Katamari Damacy is a series of puzzle video games developed and published by Namco Bandai Games. The first game was released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2. The series is known for its colorful visuals, quirky premise, and catchy soundtrack.

In each game, the player controls a small, sticky ball called the Katamari and rolls it around various environments, collecting objects to increase the size of the Katamari. As the Katamari grows larger, it can pick up bigger objects and reach previously inaccessible areas. The goal is to grow the Katamari to meet specific size requirements before a timer runs out.

Levels start in confined spaces like bedrooms and playgrounds, then expand to towns, islands, continents, and beyond. Hundreds of mundane and wacky objects can stick to the Katamari like people, animals, fruit, cars, buildings, even clouds and celestial bodies. The visuals, animations, and physics provide much of the series' humor.

The synth-pop soundtrack, composed by artists like Yuu Miyake, Asuka Sakai, and Yoshihito Yano, is inspired by the improvisational jazz stylings of artists like Sun Ra. The simple but catchy melodies complement the lighthearted, offbeat fun of rolling a giant ball around to collect random stuff.

Main games in the series include Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari, Beautiful Katamari, Katamari Forever, Tap My Katamari, and Amazing Katamari Damacy. Console ports, smartphone apps, and spin-offs like Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy have also been made.

With its colorful visuals, funky soundtrack, and rolling gameplay that provides hours of silly fun, Amazing Katamari Damacy has cemented itself as one of the quirkiest yet most creative series in modern gaming.
