The katamari is moved entirely by the two analog joysticks in a manner similar to the classic arcade game Battlezone (both sticks up to go forward, both back to go backwards, one forward and the other back to turn, etc.). Katamari Damacy is a radical departure from traditional video game concepts: there is no attack button, there are no "special moves" to unlock as the game progresses, and there are no bosses, yet it also doesn't fall into the familiar mold of a "puzzle game" like Tetris. The individual objects are low in detail to allow for a large number of things on the screen to be rendered quickly without slowdown or popup. The cutscenes are similarly styled, with everything composed of simple shapes, far from any kind of realism. The game's graphical style is simple rather than realistic the graphics have a blocky appearance that economizes polygons. During the game, the son seems to be the only one noticing the changes in the sky and the appearances of the King and the Prince the daughter senses the changes in the constellations, reacting with joy when a new constellation is remade. The scenes follow a mother and two children intent on watching the father, an astronaut, begin his trip to the Moon. The story is told mainly through cutscenes following each level. There are also Royal Presents hidden in the levels for the Prince to pick up, including a camera which can take photos. As it becomes covered with things, the larger clump can pick up larger items, such as fruit, milk cartons, small animals, children, cars, houses, stadiums, office buildings, and sperm whales. Initially, the katamari can only pick up tiny items such as loose change, thumbtacks, and ants. To gather material, the Prince pushes around his katamari, a magical ball capable of sticking to anything smaller than itself that it rolls over or against. He sends his son, the Prince (who is five centimeters tall), to Earth to gather material with which to reconstruct the stars, constellations, and ultimately the Moon. The King of All Cosmos got drunk one night and accidentally destroyed all the stars in the sky. This section contains spoilers!
