If you grew up with Sanrio characters or still have a soft spot for Hello Kitty and her friends, there's a delightful new game that you won't want to miss. Developed by LINE Games and their affiliate Super Awesome, the game has been soft launched and is titled Hello Kitty Friends Match. This mobile game is a match 3 puzzle game that brings a fresh twist to the genre.
Where is Hello Kitty Friends Match 3 Available?
Hello Kitty Friends Match 3 is currently live in the Philippines and Canada. A full global rollout is planned for the first half of 2025. If you're not in these regions, you can pre-register on the Google Play Store to stay updated.
You might be tempted to roll your eyes at yet another match 3 game, but Hello Kitty Friends Match introduces some innovative elements. For starters, it's designed to be played in landscape mode, offering a more spacious and comfortable gaming experience. Additionally, the icons are larger than typical match 3 games, making it easier on the eyes and reducing the need to squint at your screen.
The game unfolds in a whimsical place called Dreamland, where you'll encounter beloved characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and more. Their mission? To collect magical star power to rebuild their home. This adds a cute storytelling element to the casual puzzles, weaving a light adventure thread throughout the game.
How Many Friends Do You Get?
Hello Kitty Friends Match also features a collectible aspect, allowing you to gather 10 different Sanrio characters and unlock over 100 unique costumes. Pre-registering now can reward you with some of these costumes, even if you're not in the soft-launch regions.
As LINE Games's first mobile release of the year, Hello Kitty Friends Match is perfect for those seeking a relaxing puzzle experience with iconic characters. You can pre-register or download the game directly from the Google Play Store.
