Frike: A Minimalist Mobile 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, uniquely blends both experiences.
The objective is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle, segmented into purple, orange, and green. Left-side controls manage ascent and descent, while a right-side button rotates the triangle.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach the end. The gameplay involves navigating a constantly shifting landscape of colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Matching your triangle's color segments to the blocks earns points.
Mismatched or white block collisions result in a fiery demise. However, some blocks offer beneficial slow-motion effects, providing extra time for precise maneuvering.
Frike masterfully embodies minimalist arcade gameplay. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also offers a calming, meditative experience. Simply drift through the abstract scenery and enjoy the atmospheric soundscape.
The game features understated visuals complemented by a tranquil soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic tones. If this sounds appealing, download Frike for free from the Google Play Store today.
