Overview
Description

The King of All Cosmos and his royal family take a tropical vacation, but a massive tsunami leaves the Paradise Commonwealth Island in ruins. A rescued turtle asks the King to create new islands for the island's animals, sending the Prince on a quest across the Sunflower Continent to gather the needed katamari. Players roll a sticky ball to collect objects, growing larger to lift bigger items and ultimately shape new landmasses. The game blends puzzle, strategy, and comedic adventure with both single‑player and multiplayer modes, delivering a quirky, family‑friendly experience.

We Love Katamari is a third‑person puzzle‑action game where you control the Prince, rolling a magical katamari to collect objects and fulfill the King of All Cosmos' wishes. The game blends quirky humor, vibrant visuals, and split‑screen multiplayer as you travel Earth and the cosmos. The title expands on the original Katamari Damacy, adding a self‑referential story about the King's newfound fame and an origin tale of how he became the ruler of the universe. Play solo or with friends in chaotic co‑op modes across a variety of themed levels.
