The Wonderful End of The World is a game from a different era, created to satisfy a niche. Everyone loves Katamari Damacy, but back in 2008 it would take another 10 years for the franchise to properly be ported to the PC! The Wonderful End of The World is undeniably a different developer's take on this type of game, and so I was immediately curious to check it out. Now the core gameplay of having to collect items roughly your size, growing, and rushing against time limits. Even the story is reminiscent - while ditching the Japanese absurdist humor Katamari is known for it, it had a similar narrative about saving the world via cramming a bunch of items together. The difference however is that you have a mannequin rather than a ball, and this makes moving around feel almost like a 3D platformer at times. In fact you can even jump in a certain hidden mode! I will admit despite my love of the Katamari franchise, I actually somewhat preferred The Wonderful End of The World's control scheme in most scenarios. It was simple, tight, and worked well. The one problem I do have with this game however is the tight corridors in certain areas. Katamari does a lot more to make it so the player won't be stuck too easily, but being a smaller title, The Wonderful End of the World unfortunately doesn't have as many safeguards from players getting stuck or even put in outright unfair situations. This is most notorious in the level Cafe Internets, where the abundance of tables makes it very easy to be stuck and the cobra NPC had knocked me into objects, causing me to physically get stuck at times! I found most of the game fairly easy to progess in, with getting a higher rank being a fun challenge, but it becomes problematic when you realize you need an A rank for every stage to access the final level. While I was able to get the others in 5 tries max, Cafe Internets was noticiably more difficult due to the tightness of the level and took around 30 tries for an A rank. Rice Cake Parade wasn't nearly as much of a problem, but it does also deserve a mention because while the 2D graphics gimmick was cool for this level, it also made it more difficult to get a sense of the hitboxes in a 3D space. All in all, I did really enjoy my time with this game, and would recommend that if you are curious to try a another develolpers' take on the katamari forumla, you check out The Wonderful End of The World.

Pretty fun little game that serves as a spiritual successor to Tasty Planet. I highly recommend it, but on a hefty sale, because it unfortunately is extremely short, like it can be 100%ed in one sitting. A fun afternoon game, to binge, non the less!
