If you have fond memories of growing up with Sanrio characters or still cherish Hello Kitty and her friends, you'll be thrilled to hear about the latest game release from LINE Games and their affiliate, Super Awesome. They've soft launched "Hello Kitty Friends Match," a delightful mobile match 3 puzzle game that's now available in the Philippines and Canada. A full global rollout is planned for the first half of 2025, and if you're not in the soft-launch regions, you can pre-register on the Google Play Store.
You might be tempted to dismiss it as just another match 3 game, but "Hello Kitty Friends Match" introduces some refreshing twists. For starters, the game is designed to be played in landscape mode, offering a more spacious and enjoyable puzzle experience compared to the typical vertical layouts. Additionally, the icons are larger than usual, making it easier on your eyes and enhancing the overall gameplay.
Set in a whimsical place called Dreamland, "Hello Kitty Friends Match" invites you to join Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved Sanrio characters on a mission to collect magical star power and rebuild their home. This charming blend of cute storytelling and casual puzzles adds a light adventure element to the game, making it more than just a puzzle challenge.
The game also features a collectible aspect, allowing you to gather 10 different Sanrio characters and unlock over 100 costumes. Some of these costumes are available as rewards for pre-registering, even if you're not in the soft-launch regions.
"Hello Kitty Friends Match" marks LINE Games's first mobile release of the year. If you're in the mood for some relaxing puzzle time with iconic characters, you can either pre-register or download the game from the Google Play Store.
