In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Japan’s Sanrio Co. wanted to produce an iPhone application that any Hello Kitty fan could enjoy, and the Chaotic team was proud to be a part of that celebration by developing and publishing the Hello Kitty Checkers app.

Using the well-loved and renowned faces of Hello Kitty and Sanrio Friends, the Chaotic team brought new life and charm to a classic game. iPhone users can single, double and triple jump their way to being “kinged” by playing as any of the Hello Kitty characters. Hello Kitty Checkers supports both one player and two player gameplay, so users can play against friends or test their skills against a challenging computer opponent, which of course will hide behind one of the cute Hello Kitty character faces.

As they climb their way to the top of the leader board, users can boast their scores and challenge friends to a match using social network integration including Facebook and Twitter. High scores will not only be noticed among friends as they will also earn users the privilege of unlocking Hello Kitty wallpapers. Because Sanrio is celebrating 50 years of success with its character-branded merchandise, namely its corporate symbol Hello Kitty, the Chaotic team wanted to celebrate the character design in this app. To stay true to the unique Hello Kitty character branding that charmed fans from the jump, Chaotic designers used the same simple artistic style. As a US partner with Sanrio, Hello Kitty Checkers is the first of many Sanrio character-branded apps iPhone users can expect to see from Chaotic Moon Studios.
