    I really like this game, mainly because I loved beautiful katamari on the xbox but it is not available on pc. Well Dejobaan Games must've realised this and decided to make people like me very happy. The game is a tad different to katamari but it is a welcome change. The graphics are not bad but far from good, the resolution is lower than what i am used to and there doesn't seem I really like this game, mainly because I loved beautiful katamari on the xbox but it is not available on pc.

The graphics are not bad but far from good, the resolution is lower than what i am used to and there doesn't seem to be a way of changing it. The music score is beautiful and very relaxing I find. This game would've rated higher if it had sharper graphics (which is a lame reason I know) and if it was a little longer. Although for the price I paid and the fun I have had out of it i guess I am just being a jerk. If you're a fan of katamari, or you're just looking for a fun game to play without too much stress then get this game. It really is fun.… Expand

    This game, along with its uplifting soundtrack, actually manages to make me feel better. Although it has a childish touch to it, and the graphics are ugly as hell, at the end of the day, you'll get a very good experience from it.

    Shameless Katamari Clone, and considering how long it's been since a proper Katamari game, that isn't a bad thing. While not quite as good as the original, it manages to pay homage to everything zany about Katamari.

    Imagine Katamari without the frustrating controls and with quite a bit more creativity, realistic 100% game-completion goals and decent music. If you haven't played Katamari Damacy, just imagine a FUN gameplay experience that is different from anything you have ever played. The downside(the only reason I rated 9 and not 10) is that the game is quite short for its price.

Unlike Katamari, TWEotW doesn't drag out beyond the point where it stops being fun. I could have replayed for at least another 3 hours before getting sick of it. Overall, I'm happy that I paid for it and supported a very talented independent game developer, who will hopefully create awesome full-length games some day.… Expand

    The level design is very rich in details, while the graphics are simplistic. Most levels will have you start in a certain area, that gives you an idea, where you are. As you grow, your perception shifts and you realise that you are somewhere completely different. I do not remember being annoyed with the controls or the music, which is a good indicator that they are both fine.

    What did surprise me a little was the size of the game I finished the game and all of its achievements in five hours. It has some replay value, particularly because of scores, but it did not make me want to play it again in the last eight months.    … Expand

    An excellent game - I played this years before I ever tried a Katamari game and once I tried Katamari I came right back to TWEOTW because it had a much better and easier control scheme, no tedious cut scenes, a great soundtrack, and fun graphics. I only wish they'd made more levels - or better yet allowed players to create levels themselves!

    With its familiar but poorly implemented game mechanics, The Wonderful End of the World comes across as trying to be a PC take on the Katamari series. But for the USD$9.99 price tag, you're better off saving the money for something else.

    The Wonderful End of the World has everything going for it. It's a fun game with a distinctive look and a fun soundtrack. It's a bit short, but the levels are replayable as you try to unlock the bonus level or try for perfect A+ grades across the board.

    While it's derivative of Katamari, that style of gaming hasn't exactly been beaten to death, and rolling around the map with a keyboard and mouse feels better than you might expect.
