New Katamari Game Rolling Into The App Store This Thursday
September 27, 2011
Namco has revealed that a second Katamari Damacy game, Katamari Amore, will be coming to our favorite mobile platform this Thursday. Although the release is still a few days out, you may want to limber up those wrists and thumbs, because you know once you get that Katamari rolling again you'll never want to stop.
The latest game in the series will follow the usual formula where you control the Prince as he rolls his sticky Katamari all around new environments trying to collect as many crazy objects as possible in order to increase the Katamari's size.
The game will once again feature tilt and touch control methods, with the latter including single or dual virtual pad options. It will also include a total of 24 missions, six environments, and four modes: Story, Time Attack, Exact Size Challenge, and Eternal. In addition to all that, Namco is throwing in a bonus PAC-MAN environment that will replace the usual Katamari with PAC-MAN himself.
Katamari Amore will be available this Thursday for iPhone and iPad as a freemium title, which will include the Time Attack mode and a single environment. To unlock all of the above mentioned content, you'll need to acquire a $3.99 in-app purchase. Additional content will be made available in the future as in-app purchase packs.
