If you were with us back in April of last year, you might recall our coverage of the quirky strategy RPG, Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the creative minds behind that unique, retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' game have shifted gears to bring us something a bit more serene and adorable: the kitten-themed match-three game, Ash & Snow, set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.
Ash & Snow is a classic match-three puzzle game where you'll engage in charming puzzles aided by two delightful kittens. The gameplay follows the familiar formula: match colored blocks to clear them, boost your score, and utilize power-ups to enhance your performance and clear levels more efficiently.
The real charm of Ash & Snow lies in its mascots, Ash and Snow. These adorable felines will be your constant companions as you tackle the puzzles, appearing either on the main screen or in the top left corner, cheering you on as you play.
With a competent developer at the helm, there's no doubt that Ash & Snow will be a well-crafted game. However, in a market saturated with match-three puzzlers that often introduce novel twists, the presence of two kittens might seem quaint. Yet, it's undeniable that feline characters, along with the recent trend of capybaras, have a proven track record of boosting game sales, particularly in the mobile gaming space.
With just a month until Ash & Snow's release, and with details still emerging, we'll keep a close watch for any further updates leading up to the launch.
