If you have fond childhood memories of Sanrio characters or still adore Hello Kitty and her friends, there's a brand-new game to check out. Developed by LINE Games and their partner Super Awesome, it's currently in a limited release. The mobile puzzle game, titled Hello Kitty Friends Match, offers a fresh take on classic match-3 gameplay.
Where Can You Play Hello Kitty Friends Match?
The game has launched in the Philippines and Canada, with a worldwide release scheduled for the first half of 2025. If the game isn't available in your region yet, you can pre-register on the Google Play Store.
We get it—you might be skeptical about another match-3 title, but Hello Kitty Friends Match introduces several innovative features.
For starters, it uses a landscape orientation, which is a refreshing change if you find standard vertical puzzles too restrictive. The game's icons are also larger than average, making it easier to play without straining your eyes.
Hello Kitty Friends Match begins in a magical setting called Dreamland. You'll join Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and other beloved characters there.
Their quest is to gather magical star energy and restore their home. With its charming story and relaxing puzzles, the game weaves a gentle adventure throughout the experience.
How Many Characters Can You Unlock?
Hello Kitty Friends Match also includes a collecting element. You can recruit 10 distinct Sanrio characters and unlock more than 100 outfits. Some costumes are available as pre-registration bonuses for players outside the initial launch regions.
This marks LINE Games' first mobile title this year. If you're interested in casual puzzles featuring iconic characters, you can pre-register or download the game from the Google Play Store.
