A new game has  been launched in SanrioTown just for you! Called “Sanrio Bubbles II“, the game is quite unlike the first Sanrio Bubbles. Your objective is to keep the bubbles stay afloat as much as possible. Click to fire a bubble and move the cursor to aim. Watch out though, because colored balls get released from time to time, and they can burst and ricochet wildly to throw off your other bubbles! Create combinations to get higher scores and more time.

Play this and other Sanrio-themed games now by heading off to the SanrioTown Game Center.

Grab the latest and cutest downloads in SanrioTown now! Wallpapers, calendars, and e-cards are only some of the things you can download on the site. The best part is, they’re absolutely free! All you have to do is sign in to your SanrioTown account and head off to the Download Center.
