Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump you up; others calm you down. Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends both experiences.
Your objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle with purple, orange, and green segments. Two buttons control ascent and descent, while a third rotates the triangle.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach an end. The gameplay involves navigating a constantly shifting landscape of colored blocks. Match your triangle's segments with corresponding colored blocks to score points. Hit too many mismatched or white blocks, and it's game over.
Strategic maneuvering is key. Certain blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to allow for precise alignment.
Frike epitomizes minimalist arcade gameplay. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also offers a relaxing, meditative experience. Simply drift through the abstract world, enjoying the visuals and the ambient soundtrack of chimes and metallic sounds.
Available now for free on the Google Play Store, Frike is a compelling choice for those seeking a unique blend of challenge and tranquility.
