6. 1 Million Roses - We Love Katamari

We Love Katamari is a bizarre yet charming little puzzle-action game that came out in 2005. Essentially you’ll be rolling around as an adhesive ball picking stuff up to become a larger version of yourself so you can pick up even bigger stuff and so on.

If you haven’t played it, just trust me, it’s strangely addictive.

In this particular entry there’s a side activity where you’re asked to collect one million roses. If that sounds like it would take an obscenely long time, you’re absolutely right. Determined players worked out rose collecting schedules or just tied rubber bands to their controllers and left it like that for days so their little ball protagonist would continue to roll and collect flowers while they did literally anything other than staring at a screen absorbing little polygonal roses.

Tough as this challenge is, some players did manage it. And for their trouble they got, well, gratitude mostly.

You listen to a bonus song and the flowers form an Exquisite Rose Nebula up in the cosmos which is kind of pretty but that’s where your rewards start and end. When you’re done the King even tells you that while they’re impressed it was a pretty pointless exercise so that’s got to make you feel good.
