Katamari eat your heart out...
I discovered this awesome game for fans of Katamari Damacy that never
bothered ponying up for the came on the consoles. Enter, "The Wonderful End of the World" An nearly 1:1 ripoff of Katamari Damacy, only this time for your PC. The game is available as a download through the popular Steam service. You play the role of a rather calm and casual looking goddess who sees that the earth is being destroyed by an ancient fish-headed god. She can't intervene and stop this from happening so she must save everything on earth to be transported elsewhere. You control her puppet that can bond with
anything, and eventually everything, around it and that is how she is going to save the world. You start out tiny, and only the smallest of random objects may stick to you. As you grab items that are no bigger than the puppet, it gets bigger and can suck in bigger objects. Eventually it can get so big that nothing in the game world won't stick to it. The larger it gets the harder it becomes to control. Where its footsteps originally make no noise at all when you get big enough each footfall sounds like thunder and the puppet becomes a little more unwieldy. You run against a timer and based on your score you get a letter grade. You must get a certain letter grade or better in order to open new areas. There are only 12 levels all together and the 12th only becomes available after you score an "A" or higher rating in the first 11 levels.
Fun way to kill a few hours for ten bucks.
