What is Katamari Damacy? The King of All Cosmos has made a monumental blunder: he accidentally destroyed all the stars in the sky. But because he’s the boss, he’s put you, tiny prince, in charge of getting the sky to sparkle once more. Get ready—the only way to make it happen is by rolling anything and everything you can find on earth into enormous balls of stuff to fill the gaps left by the missing stars!

Anything…and Everything!
Roll through the house, down the streets, up mountains. The further you go and the bigger you build, the more momentum you create.

Hungry for Competition?
Two-player battle mode lets you compete against another player to see who can build the biggest ball of stuff fastest. But watch your back—your opponent can roll you over and add you to their star-to-be!
