If you were following our coverage back in April of last year, you might recall our feature on the quirky strategy RPG, Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the same creative minds behind that retro-inspired, 'trapped-in-another-world' game are shifting gears towards a more serene and adorable venture with their latest match-three puzzle game, Ash & Snow. Set to charm mobile gamers on May 15th, this new release promises to deliver a delightful experience centered around two lovable kittens.
As with any match-three game, Ash & Snow offers the familiar yet engaging gameplay of matching colored blocks to clear them and boost your score. Power-ups are there to help you clear levels faster and rack up more points, adding a layer of strategy to the classic formula.
What truly sets Ash & Snow apart, however, are its mascots, Ash and Snow. These charming felines will accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, appearing on the main screen or keeping a watchful eye from the top left corner, making your gaming experience even more delightful.

Given the developer's track record, there's no doubt that Ash & Snow will be a well-crafted game. While the match-three genre is saturated with titles that often introduce unique twists, the presence of these two kittens might seem quaint. Yet, it's undeniable that cats (and increasingly, capybaras) have a proven track record of boosting game sales, especially in the mobile market.
With just a month until Ash & Snow's launch, and details still emerging, we'll be keeping a close watch for any further updates.
