You can't save the whole world. It's going to be eaten by a mythological demon with the head of a fish. But as a puppet that absorbs all it touches, you can try to rescue as much of Earth's greatness as you can before the end arrives. In the beginning, you roam the Earth, capable of absorbing only the tiniest of objects. A glass marble you collect becomes your head, and a pair of jellybeans becomes your hands. Small creatures overwhelm you, with rats kicking you around and golden retrievers threatening to stomp you to pieces. But with every object you collect, your puppet self grows larger. Eventually, you'll become a towering behemoth with fire engines for arms and the ability to absorb entire buildings. The Wonderful End of the World takes you through 12 unique locations, with over a thousand treasures to gather before the end comes. Steal some sweets from the candy store, where gummi fish swim in a blueberry river; visit a surrealist library to find that the words have literally leapt out of their books; and explore the Megalopolis, where you'll watch a lively end-of-the-world parade and then gobble it up before making your way to grab the tallest skyscraper ever built.

I'm really glad Dejobaan Games exists; their bizarre alt-history meta-narrative is hilarious, and has talked me into buying a number of their products.

I'm really glad Dejobaan Games exists; their bizarre alt-history meta-narrative is hilarious, and has talked me into buying a number of their products. Trouble is, the actual games they make aren't usually all that good... The Wonderful End of the World is the only offering they've provided so far that I've enjoyed enough to really keep at. A blatant Katamari Damacy clone, they've stripped out the giddy LSD-inspired galactic deity and replaced His Royal Codpiece with a nihilistic, Fiddle-While-Rome-Burns heroine seeking to loot the planet (through... ghost magic? I have no idea what's actually going on here.) as best she can before Earth just crumbles and dies. Possibly due to your actions. They're never all that clear on that point. It's stylish and fun in a low-budget sorta way that makes you ignore the fact that you've already done this hundreds of times through a wider variety of levels and gameplay modes and with better controls. Pick it up cheap and enjoy a wonderful afternoon before setting it aside forever.
