Sanrio's beloved characters have now ventured into the world of match-three games with the launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match! Given Sanrio's extensive reach across products like cakes, school supplies, and clothing, it's surprising this is their first dive into this popular gaming genre. This delightful game allows players to join Hello Kitty in a mission to restore the gloomy Dreamland to its former glory using the magical power of Starlight and some engaging puzzle-solving.
As noted in our regular feature, Ahead of the Game, by Catherine, Hello Kitty Friends Match doesn't revolutionize the match-three mechanics. However, it doesn't need to, as it's backed by the charm of Sanrio's iconic mascots. Players can enjoy collecting these characters while navigating through thousands of levels.
Hello Kitty Friends Match may come across as overly sweet, but features like an album for 'cherished memories' and the ability to exchange hearts with teammates add a heartwarming touch. While this might not appeal to everyone, fans of Hello Kitty and her friends will appreciate this cozy twist on the well-established match-three genre.
