Hello Kitty Black Wonder

Players carry oil lamps by which they are tracked through the game, and must overcome obstacles in its five zones to rescue Hello Kitty and her companion.

Each player gets a certificate when they finish the game, Hello Kitty Black Wonder, which has taken two years and more than HK$10 million to develop.
