If you were following us back in April of last year, you might recall our mention of the quirky strategy RPG, *Isekai Dispatcher*. Now, the developers behind that retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' game are bringing us something more serene and adorable with their new match-three game, *Ash & Snow*. Set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th, this game promises a delightful puzzle experience accompanied by two charming kittens.
*Ash & Snow* follows the classic match-three formula you know and love. You'll be matching colored blocks, striving to clear as many as possible to boost your score. Along the way, you'll encounter power-ups that help you clear the board faster and rack up more points. It's the kind of gameplay that match-three enthusiasts will find comfortably familiar.
The real draw of *Ash & Snow*, however, is its two titular mascots: Ash and Snow. These adorable felines are not just part of the game's aesthetic; they're your constant companions as you tackle the puzzles. Whether they're on the main screen or peeking at you from the top left corner, their presence adds a cozy, heartwarming touch to your gaming experience.
With *Ash & Snow* coming from a developer with a proven track record, there's little doubt it will be a well-crafted game. Yet, in an era where match-three games often come with unique twists, the charm of two kittens might seem a bit quaint. But let's face it, cats—and more recently, capybaras—as game characters have a proven track record of boosting sales, especially in the mobile gaming market.
With just a month until *Ash & Snow*'s release, and with details still somewhat scarce, we'll be keeping a close watch for any further updates.
