Would you be friends with a pair of socks?
I've got the game for you.
I've had a few comments from you guys that you like Japanese games
So here's some that I've found
All made by Sanrio
None of them feature Hello Kitty
But I think they're all really cute
Or unusual
Or both!
The first one is Hikidashiaita
Hikidashi means "drawer"
Like in a chest of drawers
And the game's a bit like the really popular cat collecting game Neko Atsume
You're in your bedroom and there's a pillow on the floor
You put things that smell nice on the pillow
You start off with a bar of soap
And you tap the fan to spread the fragrance around
The smell tempts creatures to come out of the chest of drawers
Now the creatures are very shy
And the aim of the game is to tempt as many of them out as possible
And they become your friends
A heart appears, which you tap to show the creatures love
So what are these creatures that you can be friends with?
When I played it, the first one that came out was a cute pair of zebra socks
There's also cat slippers
Bunny slippers
And panda slippers
And some high heels that are also poodles
Then there's more socks
Which are not just socks
They're also seals, birds
Sheep and alpacas!
There's some underwear, which I think is also fish
And some gloves
And then we're onto the miscellaneous items
How many of these would you actually have in your drawer?
There's plug sockets,
Keys, padlocks
Maraccas
Set squares and, of course, seahorses!
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy
It's free on iPhone
It's all in Japanese but you can kind of work out your way around it
Just search for Hikidashiaita
And I'll put the link in the description
On to the second game: Shirirapper
Shiri means bottom or butt
And rappers is the same as in English
So it means butt rappers
And the characters are butt fairies
The story is: when you're feeling sad,
The shirirappers appear
And start hula hooping and rapping
To cheer you up
Now if that doesn't work, I don't know what will
In the game, the Shirirappers appear
You have to combine rappers of the same character or hula hoop colour
To get points
There are 27 of these Shirirappers
Most of them are fruit and vegetables
And I guess, because they're butts
Several of them are peaches of various shapes & sizes
One of them's a ladybird
And some of them - I don't know what they are!
This one - Mossa - is a fashion designer
This one's literally called Mole Hair
This one I think is a corn on the cob
Who suffers from back pain
And then there's Garlic Lady!
Sadly it's only on the Japanese app store
But there are videos if you want to see it in action
And finally: Sengoku Prison
Which is a puzzle game with cat warriors!
They look a bit like the cute characters in Monster Hunter
The cats have been locked in a cage
And you help them escape by linking blocks of cats
It's pretty cute
And I really like how, even though they're just tiny characters in a puzzle game,
Sanrio have thought out really particular details about their personalities
There's Nobunyan
Who's really ambitious, and likes to do extreme things
Like hopping on board UFOs
When he gets angry he fires his meow-sket
Yukinyan has some pretty cool antlers on his hat
And he trains every day
Because he wants to get a six pack
Even though it's hopeless because he's just a cat
Datenyan has a cat paw eyepatch
And he's desperately trying to think of a name for his cool signature battle move
Nyanbe sells secondhand clothes at flea markets
To fund his warchest
He's also a DJ
And he writes a lifestyle column in a magazine
Kairironyan's looking pretty good with the pink & purple hair
Apparently he's a hipster
And surprisingly well educated
And Nyanbu wears a mask because of his allergies
Finally, check out this Japanese castle with cat ears!
Neko o kaburu
Literally means "wearing a cat"
Or acting innocent when maybe you're not
