When Dejobaan Games, the developer behind The Wonderful End of the World and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity create a first-person shooter that’s all about building and demolishing gigantic robots, they don’t need to name it Drunken Robot Pornography to get my attention; the name it Drunken Robot Pornography because there’s something wrong with them.
We’ve written about The Wonderful End of the World before, describing it as “Katamari Damacy on crack” – a turn of phrase that is as misleading as it is cringeworthy. The truth is it’s Katamari Damacy, period. But it’s worth mentioning again. Why?
Dejobaan Games, the independent developers of the amazing The Wonderful End of the World, have just announced an intriguing base-jumping game that might just need a name change before we write about it again.
If you’re looking for a lovely way to look busy on a lazy Friday afternoon, then independent developer Dejobaan Games has got just the thing. They’ve just released their latest title, The Wonderful End of the World, which casts you as a super absorbent puppet tasked with collecting as much of the world as you can before it is eaten by “mythological demon with the head of a fish.” It plays a lot like Katamari Damacy – in fact, the first level of the two-level demo had me ready to dismiss it as a throwaway clone – but then I got to level 2 and fell in love. Set in a video game world, the second level starts you off in a game of Pong, which is set within a game of Pac-Man, which is set within a game of Centipede, with Tetris blocks and Tron light cycles running about and Space Invaders descending overhead. I swoon! It’s PC Katamari Damacy on crack, all for $US 19.95. Hit the link below to give the game a go!
