Yes, the title of the game has a small letter “i” at the beginning. Do you see what they did there? Clever, clever people.

Anyway, I went back to this to see if the controls felt better now I’m a bit more experienced with the tilting and turning of my iPhone.


Like many other games I’ve tried, the results were positive. After a couple of games I was rolling around like nobody’s business and even managed to get a katamari of over 25cm, which was brilliant – for me. I’ve no idea if that’s actually any good or not, though. There’s no goal set and the King wasn’t impressed – but is he ever? It would be nice for some better feedback from the demo. I’m not buying the full game if I don’t know if I’ll be able to complete any levels. Mind you, while it’s £4.99 I doubt I’ll be buying it all.

Still, the thing is, it’s Katamari, which automatically sparks lovely feelings in my brain. I just need to see the graphics and hear the music and I’m in a happy place. I think the demo makes me happy enough for now, is all.
