LINE Games has officially kicked off the soft launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match in the Philippines and Canada, and let's just say, it's a match made in heaven. This vibrant new match-3 puzzle game invites you to gather star power to revive your village to its sparkling glory, with the delightful assistance of Hello Kitty and her friends—ten adorable Sanrio characters, to be precise.

In Hello Kitty Friends Match, you'll have the chance to customize over a hundred themed costumes for beloved Sanrio characters like My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin, as you work to illuminate the enchanting world of Dreamland, one puzzle at a time. It sounds absolutely delightful, but I must admit, there's a tiny part of me that's disappointed not to see my beloved Gudetama included.

But who am I kidding? I'm just pretending to be cool and unimpressed. Living in the Philippines, I'm absolutely going to dive into this game right away because I simply can't resist the charm of Sanrio characters, no matter the genre. So yes, I'm all in—let's do this!

While you eagerly await the full global launch planned for the first half of the year, Hello Kitty Friends Match is now open for pre-registration. If you can't wait and need a similar fix, why not check out our list of the best match-3 games on Android to keep you entertained in the meantime?
