Publisher Namco Bandai has announced that Noby Noby Boy, the downloadable PS3 game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, will be released worldwide on February 19. The company also revealed that the game will be sold for only $4.99.

Noby Noby Boy is another quirky, oddball title from Takahashi, setting players in a rather interesting world with yet another interesting premise. Here’s how gamers worldwide will collaborate to unlock new stages:

As players stretch BOY in their individual play sessions, the lengths to which they grow are uploaded to a persistent character known as GIRL, who grows at the same rate as the combined length of all the players in the world. GIRL starts at Earth and expands through the solar system as more games are played and BOYs from all players continue to grow. When GIRL reaches a new milestone in the solar system, these areas are unlocked as playable stages in the game for everyone around the world.
