People everywhere are absolutely losing their minds over the fact that Google now has a built-in Katamari minigame that allows users to roll everythi

Key Highlights :

1. Google has a built-in Katamari minigame that lets you roll everything on the page into a tidy ball that'd impress the King of the Cosmos.

2. The Katamari series, developed by Bandai Namco, are puzzle-action games where you play as the young Prince of All Cosmos as he rolls up a ball of random items from fruit to cars, and more, until he creates a ball large enough to replace the stars in the sky that his tough-love father, The King of the Cosmos, accidentally destroyed.

3. Google's Katamari minigame is more low-stakes than what the Prince is tasked with.

4. If all this Google search Katamari -ing has you hankering for the real deal, you can grab We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie, the second Katamari game, which was re-released on the Nintendo Switch on June 2.

     Google’s Katamari minigame is much more low-stakes than the Prince’s task, as there is no time limit and all you have to do is roll a Katamari ball around your screen. To access the game, simply search “Katamari” in Google, and a widget will appear, allowing you to drag a ball over the webpage. Images, words, search bars, and the like will then stick to the device, allowing it to grow larger as HTML bits and bobs collect, while the page itself becomes more sparse.

     The game works best on a computer, as it is a pain to scroll to the bottom of the webpage with one finger while trying to roll more items into your growing Katamari ball with the other finger (on a computer, you just need a keyboard to roll around). Also, the Katamari ball’s response time on a smartphone is much slower than on a computer, and timing is everything when it comes to Katamari.

     For those who are looking for the real deal, you can grab We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie, the second Katamari game, which was re-released on the Nintendo Switch on June 2.

     Google’s Katamari minigame is a fun way to procrastinate during a long day of work, and it’s no wonder that people are losing their minds over it. It may not be the same as the real Katamari games, but it’s certainly a great way to pass the time.
