If you have a special place in your heart for Sanrio characters, especially the adorable Hello Kitty and her charming friends, you'll be thrilled to know about a new game that's just hit the market. Developed by LINE Games in collaboration with their affiliate Super Awesome, the game titled "Hello Kitty Friends Match" has been softly launched as a mobile match 3 puzzle game.
Currently, "Hello Kitty Friends Match" is available in the Philippines and Canada. The game's full global release is slated for the first half of 2025. If you're not in these regions, you can still get excited by pre-registering on the Google Play Store.
You might be thinking, "Another match 3 game?" But hold on, "Hello Kitty Friends Match" introduces some refreshing elements. It's designed to be played in landscape mode, providing a more spacious and enjoyable gaming experience compared to the usual vertical puzzles. Plus, the larger icons make it easier on the eyes, eliminating the need to squint at your screen.
The game unfolds in a whimsical location called Dreamland, where you'll join Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved Sanrio characters. Together, you embark on a delightful mission to gather magical star power to restore their home. This blend of cute storytelling with casual puzzles creates a light-hearted adventure that ties everything together seamlessly.
"Hello Kitty Friends Match" also offers a collecting aspect. You can gather 10 different Sanrio characters and unlock over 100 costumes. If you pre-register, especially if you're not in the soft-launch regions, you can snag some exclusive costumes as rewards.
This 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 pre-register or download the game directly from the Google Play Store.
