Frike: A Minimalist Mobile 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.
The objective is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle with purple, orange, and green sections. On-screen buttons control ascent, descent, and rotation.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach the end. The gameplay revolves around matching your triangle's colored segments with similarly colored blocks scattered throughout the abstract landscape. White blocks are neutral.
Matching earns points; mismatches (or hitting white blocks) result in an explosive end. Certain blocks offer temporary slow-down bonuses, providing crucial extra time for precise maneuvering.
Frike perfectly embodies the minimalist arcade genre. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also invites relaxation, allowing players to simply navigate the obstacles and appreciate the visuals and soundscape.
The game features understated graphics and a calming soundtrack of echoing chimes and metallic tones. If this sounds appealing, download Frike for free from the Google Play Store today.
