Gameplay

The game involves guiding Hello Kitty into every item on a given level, using different types of bricks to manipulate her surroundings, thus allowing her to get every item. Often, the player must build steps for Hello Kitty out of Tetris-style falling bricks. Also, some of Hello Kitty's friends appear on levels, causing the bricks to move in undesirable ways. The Game Boy Color version suffers from sluggish controls, upping the difficulty level.
