Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump your adrenaline; others soothe your soul. Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, masterfully blends both experiences.
The objective is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle with purple, orange, and green segments. On-screen buttons allow you to ascend, descend, and rotate this triangular protagonist.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach an end. This endless landscape features colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Scoring involves rotating your triangle to match its colored segments with corresponding blocks.
Colliding with too many mismatched or white blocks results in a fiery demise. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to aid in precise maneuvering.
Frike exemplifies a minimalist arcade-casual game. While high-score chasing can be intense, it also provides a tranquil experience, allowing players to simply navigate obstacles and appreciate the game's aesthetic.
The game boasts understated visuals complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic sounds.
If this sounds appealing, download Frike for free from the Google Play Store today.
