The Wonderful End of the World

released on Jan 25, 2008

You can't save the whole world. It's going to be eaten by a mythological demon with the head of a fish. But as a puppet that absorbs all it touches, you can try to rescue as much of Earth's greatness as you can before the end arrives. In the beginning, you roam the Earth, capable of absorbing only the tiniest of objects. A glass marble you collect becomes your head, and a pair of jellybeans becomes your hands. Small creatures overwhelm you, with rats kicking you around and golden retrievers threatening to stomp you to pieces. But with every object you collect, your puppet self grows larger. Eventually, you'll become a towering behemoth with fire engines for arms and the ability to absorb entire buildings. The Wonderful End of the World takes you through 12 unique locations, with over a thousand treasures to gather before the end comes. Steal some sweets from the candy store, where gummi fish swim in a blueberry river; visit a surrealist library to find that the words have literally leapt out of their books; and explore the Megalopolis, where you'll watch a lively end-of-the-world parade and then gobble it up before making your way to grab the tallest skyscraper ever built.

really jank katamari clone with a lot of soul. dejobaan games makes some of the most homemade feeling games ive ever played, and this is no exception. i really enjoyed my time with wonderful end of the world, and it's got a very defined sense of humor and personality to it that i really like. totally recommended if youre big on katamari, you'll have a great time (also ive always said this, wonderful end of the world feels like what katamari would have been like if localizers tried to make it more american)

It's a katamari clone! It's fun.

Yes, this is a clone of Katamari Damacy, made rather crookedly, but when I first played through it, I really liked the OST, the pleasant speed of origin and of course the last level, which again I liked more because of the music.

The mechanics themselves work well, although they are blatantly taken from another game, absorbing smaller objects first, moving on to fatter ones, and then until there is nothing left on the map. There is a big fat minus in the form of bugs in some moments, a drop in FPS at some levels, but magically, the game smoothes out these corners very smoothly with the atmosphere of the game. The game was released in 2008 and besides, it’s indie, you can forgive it.

For those who are not familiar with Katamari or do not really want to delve into the simple genre, this game is ideal.

Да, это клон Katamari Damacy, сделанный достаточно криво, но когда я в первые ее проходил, мне сильно понравился OST, приятная скорость происхождения и конечно же последний уровень, который опять же понравился скорее из-за музыки.

Сама механика хорошо работает, хоть и нагло взята из другой игры, поглощение сначала более мелких предметов, переходя на более жирные, и дальше, пока ничего не останется на карте. Есть большой жирный минус в виде багованости некоторых моментов, падение фпс на некоторых уровнях, но магическим образом, игра очень гладко сглаживает эти углы атмосферой игры. Игра вышла в 2008 году и к тому же это инди, можно простить.

Для тех кто не знаком c Katamari или не особо хочет вникать в незамысловатый жанр, эта игра идеально подойдет.

It's a pretty barebones "clone" of Katamari Damacy. The graphics may be cheap but somewhat charming. The soundtrack is surprisingly catchy, and the exploration mode themes are really relaxing. The main campaign is super short and the gameplay is overall repetitive. If you wanna play Katamari but you're low on budget, i recommend you to pass this one, but, if it is your thing, go for it.

A fun little blatant Katamari ripoff, though instead of rolling ball you just become the stuff you pick up. It's very much on the budget side, and it's too repetitive over a long stretch of time, but I love the funky soundtrack & the dedication to really try to match the Katamari wacky vibes. A fun little diversion but nothing that blows me away.
