Amazing Katamari Damacy

Amazing Katamari Damacy is an endless runner developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and released for both major mobile platforms (Android and Apple iOS).

Plot

Amazing Katamari Damacy takes us to the trademark surreal universe, featured in other games of the series. Once again, the players are tasked with helping the King of All Cosmos, who attempts to win back the love of his beloved Queen and save the world from the impending doom.

Mechanics

Similarly to other Katamari games, the action is seen from a third person perspective. The player assumes control over a ball that has objects sticking to it in progress of the level. As the level progresses, the ball increases in size, enabling us to pick-up larger elements of the environment, from small items up to vehicles and buildings.

Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that hitting various obstacles or black holes encountered across the levels forces us to repeat the whole level. Our chances of survival increase with amassed clusters, which offer useful bonuses, as well as cousins that offer passive bonuses (for example, Opeo gives us additional protection from obstacles, while Foomin makes the objects in the distance attach to our ball). Their strength can be further increased by buying upgrades bought for coins accrued during the course of the game. Each run is supervised by a point counter – we can show off our score on the official online rankings.

Technical Aspects

Amazing Katamari Damacy offers pleasant visuals that are characteristic for their cartoonish style. We are also left with a decent soundtrack that offers both dynamic and peaceful music tracks. The game is distributed in a free-to-play model with microtransactions.
