Frike: A Minimalist Android Game Offering Both Adrenaline and Zen
Some games pump your adrenaline; others soothe your soul. Frike, the debut Android title from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends both experiences.
The objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle, segmented into purple, orange, and green sections. On-screen buttons control ascent, descent, and rotation.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike boasts infinite gameplay. The challenge is endless.
This abstract world is populated by colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Scoring involves aligning your triangle's corners with matching colored blocks. Hit too many mismatched or white blocks, and your triangle explodes.
Strategic gameplay is rewarded with bonus squares that temporarily slow your descent, providing crucial time for alignment.
Frike exemplifies a minimalist arcade experience. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also offers a relaxing, visually appealing experience. Simply navigate the obstacles and appreciate the scenery.
The game's understated visuals are complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic tones.
If this sounds appealing, download Frike for free from the Google Play Store today.
