Katamari New Year!
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. :)
Thanks, Tom. The game will continue to be available. Roll on!
Edit: great score, by the way!
