Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump your adrenaline; others soothe your soul. Frike, the debut Android title from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely 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. On-screen controls allow you to ascend, descend, and rotate this triangular protagonist.
Despite having only one level, Frike is far from diminutive. Its single level is infinite, ensuring endless gameplay.
The game unfolds in a stylish, abstract world populated by colored blocks (white, purple, orange, and green). Scoring involves rotating your triangle to align its corners with matching colored blocks.
Colliding with too many mismatched or white blocks results in a spectacular triangle explosion. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to aid precise maneuvering.
Frike epitomizes the 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's understated visuals are complemented by a meditative soundtrack featuring resonant chimes and delicate metallic sounds.
If this sounds appealing, Frike is available for free download now on the Google Play Store.
