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, 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 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 gameplay is infinite. The challenge is never-ending.
The game world is a moody, abstract landscape filled with colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Match your triangle's segments with corresponding blocks to score points.
Mismatched or white blocks result in an explosive end to your run. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing you down for strategic maneuvering.
Frike perfectly embodies minimalist arcade casual gaming. While high-score chases can be intense, the game also offers a relaxing experience, allowing players to simply navigate the obstacles and appreciate the visuals.
The game's understated graphics are complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic sounds.
