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 manages to be both.
The objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle with purple, orange, and green segments. Two buttons control vertical movement (ascend and descend), while a third rotates the triangle.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach an end. The gameplay involves navigating a constantly shifting landscape of colored blocks. Matching your triangle's segments to similarly colored blocks earns points.
Colliding with too many mismatched or white blocks results in a fiery demise. However, some blocks offer beneficial effects, slowing your descent to aid precise maneuvering.
Frike perfectly embodies the minimalist arcade genre. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also provides a relaxing experience, allowing players to simply drift through the abstract scenery. The visuals are understated, complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic sounds.
