What Katamari Damacy is
Katamari Damacy is an adventure game developed by Keita Takahashi and released in 2004. It was published by Namco. It is available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The game begins with a scene of the King destroying all of the stars and the Moon. The next day, the King is speaking to the Prince about what had happened the night before, about how he felt as one with the Cosmos, and that it was a beautiful symphony of destruction when he destroyed the stars. In the Japanese version of the game, the King openly admits he was drunk at the time, while the English release only implies this. He then tasks the Prince with returning the stars by rolling up objects in the Katamari, hopefully before anyone notices.
