Grease is the word

But it's not just the Friendship Festival you should be keeping an eye out for if you're a dedicated Hello Kitty Island Adventure fan. Because the folks at Sunblink are also taking the opportunity this summer to highlight the contributions of content creators.

Available now until August 17th, the content creator calendar events feature cosmetics and decor inspired by some of the creators who've put considerable time into highlighting Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Creators such as Fluff'isle, SproutsieSprout, Planet Moonstar and Nikki Island Adventure are all included in the event.

It's always heartening to see studios such as Sunblink highlight the contributions of creators who help to popularise their games. And in the case of Hello Kitty Island Adventure, it's coming right around the same time as the aforementioned Friendship Festival, which is packed with even more to do! As always, Sunblink seem to have a lot of content waiting in the wings for this showcase of Sanrio Mascots.

In the meantime, if you want to see what else is making waves on mobile, then you're in luck. Because our list of the best mobile games of 2026 (so far) is being constantly updated!

SoulTerra Odyssey sees Bandai Namco take a crack at colourful, roguelike, match-three action

Over the weekend, a trailer for a new release caught my eye. With colourful match-three gameplay and some obvious RPG elements, I was curious why I hadn't heard of it before. Imagine my surprise upon finding out that SoulTerra Odyssey had just hit soft launch for Australia, the Philippines, New Zeland and the UK, and from none other than Bandai Namco. SoulTerra Odyssey pitches itself as a distinctive blend of match-three puzzle gameplay, roguelite upgrades and RPG battles as you explore a colourful cartoon world with just a hint of grit to it. You'll recruit a crew of quirky passengers to help out in your adventures, and leverage their abilities in battle. ...

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase📱 Mobile

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase

It seems that today has been given over to arcade releases. Frutz had me dodging missiles earlier, and now That’s My Balloon! wants me to spend the evening popping balloons. At least this one does not expect me to inflate them first. Out now on iOS, That’s My Balloon! is a one-tap arcade release built around spotting balloons and bursting them before they float off the screen. You will also need to avoid dangerous surprises that drift across the screen. As rounds continue, balloons become harder to catch, and those hazards start making the one-tap controls considerably less relaxing. ...

Frutz sends you through five arcade worlds in pursuit of perfect runs

It's a brand new week - for some people, that means easing into it, but for others, it means chasing perfect grades while a screen fills with missiles. Frutz has arrived at a useful time. Out now on iOS and Android, Frutz is a retro-inspired side-scrolling arcade shooter that takes you through five cosmic worlds. Lord Zorkannan has handed the five Cosmic Gems to his strongest guardians, which is inconvenient, so you will need to defeat each one before meeting him in the Cosmic Rift. Until then, his guardians are busy filling every planet with enemies and hazards. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/frutz/official-launch/)
