What is the point of Katamari Damacy? Maybe it tells a story of the Prince and the outlandishly large expectations placed on him by his father, maybe it tells a story about how no matter your importance in the cosmos you can do something massive.
Maybe the story is about the unity that we all must have in order to continue to survive in this world we live in, the katamari being a metaphor for the hands we must hold together. As our creations and us stick to the ball and are formed into a star, we are one more step to being unified. The game even hints at this itself, saying in the end credits that we must not hurt each other, all it takes is a little understanding and kindness to solve our problems.
Maybe Katamari Damacy is a celebration of life, a celebration of the many things we've come to learn and create for and about ourselves. It might serve a lesson to us all, to cherish what we have, before the large katamari and the tiny prince in tow come to take us all. The objects begin to blossom new colors as they are rolled up, signifying that maybe they are better off this way?
Maybe it's a game about wanting to run over small children, especially those who ride RC Swan cars, I can say that it has most definitely left me with a hatred of small children that ride fast RC Swan cars.
Or maybe, Katamari Damacy has no meaning, maybe it has no purpose, maybe all it serves to do is to provide dumb fun, silliness in a world where there's too much going on. Relaxation in a scary time where we fear one another, a chance to just calm down and roll up somethings for a short time and just have some fun. Katamari Damacy is short and sweet, maybe has an underlying message or two, but most of all it is just a game that is trying to have fun. A refreshing title in a world where games aren't really like that anymore, in some cases for the better and others for the worst.
