Abnormal Mapping 60: Katamari Damacy

Celebrate the shortest month with the shortest hero as Abnormal
Mapping delves into the wide world of rolling up extremely tiny
objects in Katamary Damacy. This includes the first game, We Love
Katamari, and even some Katamari Forever. Plus, we dip into Keita
Takahashi’s development history and philosophy of design. Come
for the good conversation, stay for the incredible music. We’re
60 years young and still rolling strong!
