Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump you up; others soothe you. Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely manages to be both.
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 the end. The gameplay revolves around matching colored blocks: purple, orange, green, and neutral white blocks. Match your triangle's segments to the blocks to score points. Mismatches result in explosions. Bonus blocks offer temporary slowdowns, providing strategic breathing room.
Frike perfectly embodies the minimalist arcade experience. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also lends itself to relaxed play, allowing you to simply navigate the abstract landscape and enjoy the ambient soundscape.
The game features understated visuals complemented by a calming soundtrack of echoing chimes and metallic tones.
