LINE Games has officially kicked off the soft launch of Hello Kitty Friends Match in the Philippines and Canada, and if you're a fan of all things cute and cuddly, this news is going to make your day. Dive into this vibrant new match-3 puzzle game where you'll harness star power to rejuvenate your village, all with the delightful assistance of Hello Kitty and nine other beloved Sanrio characters.

In Hello Kitty Friends Match, you'll have the chance to personalize over a hundred unique costumes for characters like My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin, as you work to bring the enchanting world of Dreamland back to its former glory, one puzzle at a time. It's an adorable journey that's hard to resist, though I must admit, the absence of my favorite, Gudetama, is a slight disappointment.

But let's be real here—I'm based in the Philippines, and the allure of Sanrio characters is too strong to ignore, regardless of the game type. So, I'm definitely jumping into this right away. Who can resist such charm?

While Hello Kitty Friends Match is now open for pre-registration, with a global launch slated for the first half of the year, you can start the fun early. If you're eager for more match-3 action while you wait, check out our list of the best match-3 games on Android to keep the excitement going.
