5 reasons why Line’s Disney Tsum Tsum is going to consume your life

I recently downloaded Line’s latest game Disney Tsum Tsum, mainly because I wanted to know what the hell a tsum is.

Disney Tsum Tsum is a match 3 puzzle game, however instead of just matching colors, you’re matching Disney characters. It doesn’t sound like anything special, right? Wrong. Disney Tsum Tsum is genius and it’s going to be huge for these five simple reasons:

1. OMFG tsums are cute.

One day ago I didn’t even know what a tsum was, and now I am waiting for them to appear on Taobao! I don’t even like cute things; I think babies are gross, puppies are messy, and I bought the ugliest rabbit in the shop because no one else wanted it! Cute just doesn’t do it for me. But even I find myself cooing at these fricking tsums!

I love how some of my favorite Disney characters have been morphed into insanely cute, minimalistic toys. I hate myself for it, but I want to collect them all.

2. 60 second gameplay is the perfect amount of time

Every round of Disney Tsum Tsum is only 60 seconds, which may not sound like a lot, but it’s perfect. It keeps you from getting bored of the repetitive gameplay, and it makes the game intense. 60 seconds is not a lot of time to rack up a high score, and if you are going to buy that next tsum, then you’re going to need to get a lot of very high scores!

It also fits nicely into your life; standing in line, waiting for a bus, or sitting on the toilet (gross, but we’ve all been there) this is the perfect game to kill a few minutes of time.
