If you grew up with Sanrio characters or still have a soft spot for Hello Kitty and her friends, there’s a new game that might catch your interest. Developed by LINE Games and their affiliate Super Awesome, the game has been soft launched and is called Hello Kitty Friends Match. This mobile match 3 puzzle game brings a fresh twist to the genre, making it a must-try for fans and casual gamers alike.
Currently, Hello Kitty Friends Match is available 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.
I know what you might be thinking—another match 3 game? But Hello Kitty Friends Match introduces several innovative features. For starters, it plays in landscape mode, offering a more expansive view that's refreshing if you're tired of the usual cramped vertical puzzles. Additionally, the game features larger icons, which is a welcome change if you don't want to strain your eyes.
The game is set in a whimsical place called Dreamland, where you'll join Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved characters. Their mission? To collect magical star power and rebuild their home. This blend of cute storytelling and casual puzzles provides a light adventure element that ties everything together seamlessly.
Hello Kitty Friends Match also offers a collectible aspect, allowing you to gather 10 different Sanrio characters and unlock over 100 costumes. Pre-registering now, even if you're not in the soft-launch regions, can earn you some exclusive costumes as rewards.
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.
