Sanrio's iconic mascots have ventured into the world of match-three games with the launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match. This game brings a cozy and familiar feel to the genre, even if it doesn't introduce groundbreaking mechanics. Players can dive into thousands of levels, collect beloved Sanrio characters, and embark on a mission to restore the light to the enchanting Dreamland.
It's surprising that it took this long for Hello Kitty to grace the match-three genre, given Sanrio's widespread presence on everything from cakes to video games. Now, fans and newcomers can experience the joy of seeing Hello Kitty and friends use Starlight to transform the dreary Dreamland, all while solving puzzles.
Mechanically, Hello Kitty Friends Match may not break new ground, but it doesn't need to. The charm of the Sanrio mascots is enough to captivate players as they progress through the game. The addition of features like an album to save 'cherished memories' and the ability to exchange hearts with teammates adds a sweet, social layer to the experience.
While the game's saccharine sweetness might not appeal to everyone, fans of Hello Kitty and her friends will appreciate this cozy twist on the match-three genre. For those seeking a more challenging puzzle experience, there are plenty of other top-rated puzzle games available on mobile, catering to both casual players and those looking for a more intense brain workout.
Friends forever
