it even made me question if this game should have a time limit at all.

There is a strict time limit that stops you from getting your "garbage ball" too big

It works much like the first one and i like it better than the first one because you dont have as many time limits and there is a wider variety of areas to build your katamari.

This short time limit was really annoying

some of the levels don't have a time limit and they're still fun.

You have to get it to the size showed, within the time limit

You have a ball called a "katamari" and you try to roll up as much junk as possible within a certain time limit
