Level Up Pixels (for iOS) sloobro 2022-12-03 | Okay I'm sure everyone gets it: sloobro likes games where the ball picks things up and gets bigger. :SThis game is enjoyable, but it was already repeating levels by the end of the video. Learn the levels, and level up a bit to start each stage bigger, and this game is going to get really easy pretty quickly.
Rope-Ball Adventures (for Android) sloobro 2022-12-03 | This game is pretty fun for me, with little obstacle courses and a ball that doesn't insist on always going forward automatically. Of course the reason it got my attention is the ball that grows as it picks stuff up, lol.I played a little longer after making the video, and it looks like this game starts repeating stages after the last one in the video. So it looks like probably all the levels are in this video.
Circle UP (for iOS) sloobro 2022-12-03 | I kinda like this game. I like how much bigger the spinner can become, compared to how it starts.
Playing around with Googles 12/1/2022 Jerry Lawson doodle sloobro 2022-12-01 | I wouldn't have noticed this except a family member tipped me off to it. It relates to Jerry Lawson, developer of a 1970s gaming console, who would've turned 82 today. It contains 5+ short playable games and a game editor.If it isn't December 1, 2022 anymore, this and many other Google doodles can be found atgoogle.com/doodles#archive Not directly related to this, I heard that Pong just turned 50. Wow, so video games have been around for 50 years.
Vacuum Arcade (for Windows) sloobro 2022-12-01 | This growing vacuum cleaner game can be downloaded off Itch.io atandrey04o.itch.io/dustbegonethingHeh, this game is pretty neat, although at the end it gets to where the cleaner is so big it can't move anymore. It took me a while to learn how to play. I have to hold down the suck button and also point the camera straight at the particles to be cleaned.
World of Tsunami (for Android) sloobro 2022-12-01 | It looks like the goal is to grow large by engulfing small objects, then slam into a city. In the longer attempt that spanned most of this video, I never spotted a city to destroy, lol.
Twister.io (for Android and iOS) sloobro 2022-12-01 | I like this game better than I thought I would ... the score is basically a size, and when the score hits certain milestones the tornado grows and can envelop bigger things. To me it feels more than a little like a katamari stage.
Mighty Tornado (for Android) sloobro 2022-12-01 | In the third stage in the video I just decided to grow big and destroy houses, rather than settle for the car I was instructed to break apart. :)
Vacuum Bot Simulator (for Windows and Mac) sloobro 2022-11-29 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atxhin.itch.io/vacuum-bot-simulatorThis took me about five tries before I won the game. Wow that cat sure gets in the way, but still I didn't really like the way the game ended, heh. But up until then the growing katamari-like gameplay is enjoyable for me.
Giant Rampage (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-29 | One thing I like about this game is that it definitely doesn't go the same way every time, even though I mostly keep walking the same route. In this video, once I won, once I lost quickly, and (my favorite) once I got rather big but still got squished by someone bigger.Squash enough of the little tiny humans to level up and grow bigger.
Brick Eaters (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-29 | This time, instead of a hole or a ball or a vacuum cleaner, destroy the city as a growing and evolving monster who appears to be made of Legos at the start. :)
City Snake (for iOS) sloobro 2022-11-29 | This is another one of those two-minute city destruction contests against bots, and there are a lot of these games, but this one is played a bit differently from other games like this that I have seen. The snake has to surround and squeeze things to destroy them and grow. Even when much bigger than another of the snakes, your snake can lose by running its head into a bot snake.
Black hole in the ground (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-27 | I think this growing hole game has a nice variety of little levels.
Fit In Hole (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-27 | I skipped some plays in the middle of this video, to show three stages without making it a long video.I've only seen three stages but I like the variety of objects in this game.
Hole Leveling (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-27 | This growing hole game is just a bit different, with a hole that keeps moving forward during the level, then thirty seconds of bonus time where the hole can go anywhere it wants. After a couple stages I upgraded the hole's starting size, but honestly I think I'd enjoy this game more always starting from size 1. It was funny, in stage 3 I messed up pretty badly, but then that was the only level where I got the bonus part right.It looks like this game keeps repeating the same four stages, although there are small variations each time.
Hole Idle by App Swim LLC (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-27 | I enjoyed upgrading my hole until it was big.I kept returning to that stuff-unloading spot way over to the right side because to the best of my knowledge it is the only one that actually awards three coins per object.But it is definitely not necessary to play the way I did to grow big and swallow everything. Play a while and then restart the app, and all the objects will be back, and you'll still have all your upgrades. So you can upgrade things in any order you want, and dump objects at any of the spots you want.Looks like there is probably just the one stage.
Tornado Mayhem (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-25 | This growing tornado game can be downloaded off Itch.io atvagabondhq.itch.io/tornado-mayhemIt's short and pretty basic; I like it; I like it that the tornado can only lift up the small objects at first.
Twisty Tornado (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-25 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atjonasmg.itch.io/twisty-tornadoIt's a pretty fun 2D growing tornado game. If the stamina meter runs out it's game over, but the game isn't hard. Each level you can choose an upgrade to movement speed or damage or stamina, while the objects grabbable by the tornado are determined simply by the level.The game keeps track of time taken to win the game (destroy the humans). I was pretty slow in this video.
TornadoGame by Viacheslav Dyachkov (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-25 | This game is probably not on the Google Play Store. It can be downloaded off Itch.io atdyachkov.itch.io/tornadogameThen you'd have to install the .apk file.This one's really simple. Just pick up about 50 of the small plants and stuff right around the big cactus, then slam into the cactus.
Small Tornado (browser game) sloobro 2022-11-25 | This game can be played on Itch.io atdemonskiddy.itch.io/small-tornadoIt's 55 seconds of growing tornado mayhem to Antonio Vivaldi music. :)

Roll On Em (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-23 | This game entertained me longer than most of the games I record, heh. It's got a lot of things going on, with a little bit of a Pac-Man feel as if you're avoiding ghosts most of the time but then chasing them with a power pellet. Well there are no ghosts or power pellets, but ... Most of the time running into a person makes the ball a unit smaller, so it's good to avoid people. But once Fever is going the ball rolls them up katamari style (but it doesn't get any bigger by doing so). Usually avoid people, but go ahead and roll them up during Fever. Then if Fever ends before the level is over the ball becomes small and you've got to be careful.
Bigger Balls 3D (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-23 | Eat gems and smaller balls to grow your ball (and its number). Avoid larger balls and obstacles. In this game there is no need to steer, just hold a finger down to move and let go to stop.I found this game pretty fun, and different from any other game I had played, at least a little bit. Stage 1 only requires holding down my finger the whole stage, but stage 2 is the hardest level I've seen in this game (I lose more than I win).
Chickens Big Crush (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-21 | This growing chicken game can be downloaded off Itch.io atmichaladamski.itch.io/chickens-big-crushI really enjoy this game. I'd like to learn this game better and record a video where the chicken gets quite a bit bigger. :)
Love, Kitten & a cleaner Bot (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-21 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atgamesbydominikwolff.itch.io/love-kitten-a-cleaner-botThere's no katamari element to this one, but I like playing as a cat, lol. Here the cat and the vacuum team up: the cat knocks down and breaks lots of stuff, and the vacuum cleans up the mess.I didn't really learn the game well. I played the first level, then got partway through the second but didn't figure out how to reach some high places. The game has three stages in total.
Panda Destroyer (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-21 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atsunny-buns.itch.io/panda-destroyerIt's a simple game of office destruction, with a story about a panda who wants to collect insurance money.
Growth and destroy (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-21 | This simple game can be downloaded off Itch.io attobeefansis.itch.io/grow-and-destroyHere a human character runs around destroying as much of a city as possible, with the ability to grow with each mushroom consumed. So I suppose you could say this game is Mario-related, probably about the same amount of a stretch as me saying it's katamari related. Anyway, whatever it is I enjoyed it for a couple of minutes. :)
Week 8 - Catamari: Who let the cats out? (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-19 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atolij167.itch.io/week-8-catamari-who-let-the-cats-outIt looks like this game may be an indie answer to the Million Roses stage, except with 100,000 yellow and pink kitty cats. :)Oops, it was minutes into the video before I started using Shift to run, even though the tutorial tried to teach me to do so.
Hole Hero (for iOS) sloobro 2022-11-19 | Here's another growing hole game, but it's a little different. This is a battle between your hole and an enormous number of stick figure characters. As the battle goes on, you can upgrade your hole (radius and other things), while bigger and bigger characters appear against you. It appears that the only way to lose (for now anyway; the game could get an update, or there could be more elements I haven't seen in later stages) is for the hole to try to swallow a character bigger than its diameter. So eat up a ton of stick figures but try to avoid anyone bigger than you.I cut out about 5 minutes of gameplay later in the attempt. It was all pretty similar to the rest of the video (and these high bitrate iOS videos take a long time to upload, lol). Late in the video I was actually half trying to lose, just to show losing in the video. It generally seems pretty easy to avoid losing I guess. Early in stage 2 (end of the video) I did finally lose.
SnowBallers.io by Highcore Labs LLC (for iOS) sloobro 2022-11-19 | I liked the way the snow worked in this game; the squish of squishing one of the other snowballs, and the layer of snow the city begins with that the snowballs pick up little by little.
Alien.io | The Abduction (for iOS) sloobro 2022-11-19 | I wasn't sure if I'd record this until I saw the effects of the power-ups the alien can find in the city. I thought they were cool. One made the UFO faster, one widened the beam.The UFO doesn't get any bigger, but it gets higher and can then beam up bigger stuff.It looks like this game has four modes, but requires watching an ad before you can play any besides the default one.
BallDog (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-17 | It's a simple game about keeping the round dog in the air. If the dog runs into too many things or hits the ground it's game over, unless the dog has a slice of meat. A tennis ball rejuvinates the round dog.I do not have a fast enough reaction speed to keep the dog from getting hurt. For me, what the dog runs into is pretty much just by luck.This is different from most of what I upload. I enjoy the game, but mostly I just like the dog, heh heh.This game is on the Google Play Store and is also on Itch.io.
Pull Pusher (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-17 | I had never before seen someone pulling the sticky ball on a rope rather than pushing it. :)
Push Together (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-17 | It's the first time I've seen this concept: The people who get rolled up then help push the ball. :)Some spots require a lot of pushers to roll the ball up a ramp. The Prince of All Cosmos could handle it all by himself, of course.
Seven ball-rolling Android games sloobro 2022-11-17 | These games all involve rolling balls, although they generally have little or nothing in common with katamari games.0:00 - Ball Roll io by Radius Games LTD2:23 - Small Big Ball3:34 - Sticky Ball by Emesh Inc6:32 - Epic Ball Roller8:59 - Marble.io (Early Access)11:01 - Spikey Ball12:06 - Roll It Up! (Early Access)
Chonky (cat roll-em-up for Android) sloobro 2022-11-15 | The game's description says it is a roll-em-up adventure, and that's a good description. The game has a lot of exploration as the cat rolls up other living things and grows huge.This game can be found on the Google Play Store (search Chonky). It is also on Itch.io:uowmgames.itch.io/chonkyLater in the video, twice I had no idea where to go and I ended the video, then I found somewhere new and started recording again, lol.I never found the owl again, the one playing hide and seek.I like this game a lot.
Jelly King 3D (for Android and iOS) sloobro 2022-11-15 | This is a contest pitting a team of you and several bots against a team of several other bots. It is very easy to win.For me it is mostly just an excuse to roll a ball and grow it bigger. :D
Jelly Run 3D (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-15 | I've seen this kind of race before, where it works to your advantage to jump off the track and try to make a shortcut (unless you just fall). I think absorbing the fruit and growing bigger probably makes you faster.
Mister Twister (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-13 | This growing twister game can be downloaded off Itch.io attexx.itch.io/mister-twisterIt's quick and easy, but I did enjoy growing my tornadoes. :)
Rock Roll (simple Windows game) sloobro 2022-11-13 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atcrunchlaw.itch.io/rock-rollI had this game on my PC for a long time, not sure if I wanted to record it. It is a really simple little game. I like it though.
Roll by Atruan (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-13 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atatruan.itch.io/rollI had this short sticky ball game on my PC for a long time before I recorded it. The ball can stick to anything red. Stick to a big object and you probably can't complete the course.
Slime me up! (platformer for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-13 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atindierama.itch.io/slime-me-upIt's your choice, you can watch me lose a lot, or skip to 8:22 in the video and watch a playthrough after learning the game better. Or download and play the game of course. :)The slime grows when it eats, and continuously shrinks (even down to nothing) while not eating. This is a one-button action platformer, but also kind of a puzzle game since the slime has to be the right size at parts, so it has to eat the right amount of food.
Fat Bear Week (for Windows and Mac) sloobro 2022-11-11 | This eating and growing bear game can be downloaded off Itch.io atteamfatbears.itch.io/fatbearweekBear has to eat up as much as it can before hibernating. There are three locations to do so.
Mothership by Devon Millar (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-11 | Heavier objects rise slower toward the mothership than lighter objects. I thought that was a nifty idea for a growing UFO game. I think this is a pretty good game, that allows 5 minutes to grow the mothership big and earn a high score. It looks like it can be played without a time limit if you watch an ad first.
Clean Up 3D (for iOS and Android) sloobro 2022-11-11 | I like this. It's sort of like the Jelly Monster 3D game. It has two maps, but it seems like each map may have some random variations each play (I'm not sure though).One hang-up is that even after I paid a little to remove ads, often the game offers an ad to upgrade one of the three stats. That means at that time I can't upgrade that stat the normal way. That's why the vacuum cleaner still moved so slowly my second play in the video.
Sea Hole Master (for Android) sloobro 2022-11-11 | Here's a slow-paced hole game, with a message about not filling up the oceans with junk I guess. I don't think I'll do it but it would be interesting to play through all the levels and see just how big of objects the hole gets to engulf. Can you eat up oil tankers and aircraft carriers and stuff? (probably not)
Slime Land - Suck Em All (for Android and iOS) sloobro 2022-11-11 | The iOS version and the Android version of this game are quite a bit different. I think I like it better on iOS. I recorded the iOS version.I actually made a longer 25-minute video of this game, but my iPad records at a high bitrate, and the file ended up being almost 6GB. :S I couldn't find a way to get it to my Windows PC easily to upload. My usual methods failed. (It may have actually been because my device storage was too close to full.)This game is a little different from most of what I record, but I enjoyed it, so I went ahead and uploaded a video.
Captain Fluffy (for Windows) sloobro 2022-11-09 | This game can be downloaded off Itch.io atzutibun.itch.io/captain-fluffyI play as a hamster in a high-tech ball that can roll up anything colorful in the room. The camera view is from inside the ball.I mostly played with a controller, but it seems you miss out on some of the functionality on a controller. I didn't catch on until late in the roll that the ball can fly!The objective is to pick up 99 objects. The ball works a lot like a katamari but I don't think there is any effect of getting bigger and being able to roll up bigger things.
