Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump your adrenaline; others soothe your soul. Frike, the debut Android title from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends both experiences.
The objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle segmented into purple, orange, and green. On-screen controls allow you to ascend, descend, and rotate this triangular protagonist.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's gameplay is infinitely challenging. You'll never reach the end.
This endless level features a variety of colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Scoring involves rotating your triangle to match its colored segments with corresponding blocks. Mismatched collisions or contact with white blocks result in a fiery demise.
Strategic gameplay is rewarded with bonus effects, slowing your descent and offering precious moments for precise maneuvering.
Frike epitomizes minimalist arcade casual gaming. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also offers a relaxing experience, allowing players to simply navigate the abstract landscape and appreciate the ambient soundscape.
The game features understated visuals complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and delicate metallic tones.
