It's the New Year Ball Drop but with a Katamari Damacy ball of your own creation!

Instructions

Roll around, sprint, jump and collect items that are at most 10% of your mass. As your mass grows, you can collect larger and larger things.

When the 5 minute timer runs out if your ball is more massive than the high score ball, the game celebrates your victory with a New Year countdown just for you!

The game tracks the high score with initials. I wrote this for our New Year's Eve party and the winner walks home with a prize!

I hope this game stays available to play long after New Year.  It's some good katamari rolling. :)
