The last couple of years has seen a resurgence of Hello Kitty items, with a few offerings from the gaming industry. Hello Kitty Bubblegum Friends is a children's software program, featuring eight different arcade-style games. The games include variations of Tetris and Breakout, plus racing, shape sorting and matching type games. Bubble Gum Taxi is a fun version of Tetris, which involves picking puzzle pieces off a conveyor belt, then placing them in a grid to eliminate lines of blocks. When a row of blocks becomes completely filled, it disappears. If all the blocks can be eliminated, then a picture is revealed. Crazy Cookie Race is another fun activity that has players hurrying to match the cookie shapes on the conveyor belts, fill up the ingredients in the mixing bowl, and place the decorated cookies in the correct boxes, all at the same time! Sky Bubble Popper is a matching game where players shoot colored bubbles next to the matching colored bubbles that are coming out of a machine to pop three or more in a row, and Cup Cake Trampoline is a really cute version of Breakout with a squirrel as the ball.

There are eight games in all, and most are exceptionally well-designed and engaging. A couple of the activities aren't quite as good as the others, such as Rainbow Garden, where players have to grab and shoot matching snails to clear the rows; the problem is that the rows begin too far down, which means that the snails reach the bottom much too quickly. Beach Bubble Frenzy could also have used a slightly better design. Hello Kitty is in a float in the water, and must shoot at different beach items in the water, while avoiding hazards. Kitty moves and shoots with the same mouse click, so shooting at an item means Kitty also moves toward the item, and can run into a hazard on the way. But, for the most part, these games are varied and interesting, much more so than many like collections for this age group.
