Namco has debuted I Love Katamari, an action game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Players must replace stars that have been accidentally knocked out of the sky by the King of All Cosmos; equipped with a katamari ball, users tilt their handheld to roll up various objects and increase the size of the ball, which in turn allows for larger items to be added. The game features several different modes, including story, time attack, exact-size challenge and external modes, the last of which lets players roll at their own pace without time or size limits.
At the start of the game, the position of an iPhone or iPod is used to calibrate the accelerometer for the katamari's movement. Due to its importance, the setting can be re-calibrated at any time by touching the katamari.
