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.
Your objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle, segmented into purple, orange, and green sections. Two left-side buttons control ascent and descent, while a right-side button rotates the triangle.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is endless. You'll never reach the end.
The gameplay revolves around colored blocks scattered throughout Frike's atmospheric, abstract landscape. Matching your triangle's colored segments with corresponding blocks earns you points.
Colliding with too many mismatched or white blocks results in a fiery explosion. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to provide more time for precise maneuvering.
Frike exemplifies a minimalist arcade-casual game. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also offers a relaxing experience, allowing players to simply navigate obstacles and appreciate the visuals.
The game features understated graphics complemented by a calming soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic tones.
If this sounds appealing, download Frike for free today from the Google Play Store.
