CATBALL EATS IT ALL might be the strangest app to hit the App Store in 2011. (Actually, make that the second strangest app.) It's still a heck of a lot of fun, though. While the game lifts heavily from the Katamari Damacy series style of gameplay, it doesn't make the mistake of trying to copy the story. Instead, there really isn't really a plot here, other than a cat gobbling up whatever it can find, before eventually devouring the entire planet (which, when zoomed out, looks like a collection of dropped magazine clippings).

It's an extraordinarily easy game to play and one that actually hooks you without you realizing it. Having to pay for additional levels (dubbed "courses") is a lot better than the in-app purchasing strategy of many other games (where you have to pay for currency to build items), and the game gives you enough of a taste to know if buying more will be money well spent for you.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
