▲Weball: Play Katamari on Websites (funwithcomputervision.com)

Wow - this is surprisingly well done. I really like that it goes from picking up text elements to eventually being able to grab physical images off the site as the ball grows larger.

Tangential but I was playing "Kirby and the Forgotten Dreamland," a little while ago and in the game there's an ability you can absorb called 'needle.' It initially gives you the appearance of a spiky porcupine rolling around in a ball.

However, the evolved version of this ability lets you attach random objects to you, like a tower, a corkscrew, and a cactus, among other things. Rolling around with all these items attached to you seems to be a nod to the game "Katamari Damacy."

This is such fun. I just went along and rolled up a few websites, including my own. Great little bit of web whimsy.

Google also has their own take on this when you search for Katamari. Click on the little katamari ball.
