If you have a special place in your heart for Sanrio characters, including the beloved Hello Kitty and her friends, there's exciting news for you. LINE Games, in collaboration with their affiliate Super Awesome, has just soft launched a new game that you'll want to check out. Called Hello Kitty Friends Match, this mobile game introduces a fresh take on the classic match 3 puzzle genre.
Where is Hello Kitty Friends Match 3 Available?
Currently, Hello Kitty Friends Match is live and playable in the Philippines and Canada. If you're eagerly waiting elsewhere, mark your calendars because a full global rollout is planned for the first half of 2025. In the meantime, if you're outside the soft-launch regions, you can pre-register on the Google Play Store to stay in the loop.
Now, I know what you might be thinking—another match 3 game? But Hello Kitty Friends Match brings some innovative twists to the table. For starters, the game is played in landscape mode, offering a more spacious and comfortable gaming experience compared to the often cramped vertical layouts. Plus, the icons are larger, making them easier to see and interact with, so no more squinting at tiny details on your screen.
The game's narrative unfolds in a whimsical setting called Dreamland, where Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and the rest of the Sanrio crew embark on a mission to collect magical star power and rebuild their home. This adds a cute storytelling element to the casual puzzle gameplay, weaving a light adventure thread throughout the experience.
How Many Friends Do You Get?
Beyond the puzzles, Hello Kitty Friends Match also offers a collectible aspect. You can gather 10 different Sanrio characters and unlock over 100 unique costumes. And if you pre-register now (especially if you're not in the soft-launch regions), you'll be rewarded with some of these exclusive costumes.
As LINE Games's first mobile release of the year, Hello Kitty Friends Match is perfect for those seeking a relaxing puzzle game featuring iconic characters. You can pre-register or download it directly from the Google Play Store.
