Tilley’s trackball isn’t the only oddly useful custom controller out there. “They could be mapped to extra buttons or actions such as shaking the ball to charge.” Tilley's trackball wouldn't have been out of place among our custom controller exhibition at the last EGX show. “There was also a 180 degree quick turn and jumping for an aerial view,” Tilley explained in a reply to a commenter. The trackball doesn’t map to all the game’s controls, such as turning and dashing using the analogue sticks, though. “A FreePIE script maps the mouse movement to two virtual vJoy thumbsticks for the in-game control,” Tilley tweeted. Welcome to 2023.Īlthough it was originally made for Japanese arcade game Armadillo Racing, Tilley shared the controller concept on Twitter and followed up with a bit more explanation on how he got the trackball working with Katamari Damacy too. The beloved roll-em-up game returns with fully updated graphics, completely recreated cutscenes and in full HD Players can use the Joy-Cons to control the. You can watch Tilley mucking about with the trackball to control an emulated version of the PS2-era Katamari Damacy in the video below. In a case of life imitating art, Tilley repurposed a trackball he’d made from roll-on deodorant and a soccer ball to play the game with (thanks, Time Extension).

But it commits-it understand how something as weird as rolling around a progressively larger clump of trash can be fun.When you think of object-gathering game Katamari Damacy the first things that spring to mind are usually balls, and the rolling thereof. And I generally like gameplay systems to feel "tight" and this is almost the opposite of that. Can't say I'm super into the style, but at least it's original. The presentation is fitting and well done, and the gameplay works. So I'm guessing it's in the "easy to pick up, hard to master" category. I played through all the main levels and half of the side ones without the timer running out. The levels are *cluttered* with junk to pick up, and I imagine there's a skill ceiling for learning how to progress through the levels to get optimal size. ![]() Levels aren't that different from one another other than the general placement of items. on your computer Open WhatsApp on your phone Tap Menu or Settings and.
