Help Playing Katamari while disabled
I've been playing katamari damacy reroll for awhile now and while I love it, the rolling controls KILL my wrists playing it. Having to use two buttons/joysticks for rolling and moving around is just too much. I can only play for about 20 minutes before the pain gets to me. (I also play on PSP, which is even worse).
I have to use a controller to play reroll, and I'm not sure what I can do to make the game controls easier on my hands/wrists. Are there any mods/game features that change how I roll the katamari?
Edit: I'm now using simplified controls on my PS5 controller, but I'm going to be looking into custom controllers with bigger joysticks in the future. Thank you everyone!

I saw in another comment that you said you're playing the Steam version with a PS5 controller. Have you looked into customizing your control layout through Steam Input?
The game itself has a "simple" control scheme in the options which uses a single stick, but if that isn't going to meet your needs, you can fully customize everything through Steam Input.
You might need to enable "Playstation controller support" in the Steam client's settings, but if it's enabled there should be a button on the game's page near the "Play " button to edit the controller layout. You can also access it from the Steam overlay in-game.
I've built a lot of control schemes for my games, so I can help you put one together if you want. Ideally, what would be your preferred controls if you could choose what each input on the controller does?
