Some video games elevate your heart rate and blood pressure—a thrilling experience. Others offer a calming, meditative escape. Frike, a debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends both.
The objective in Frike is simple: survival. You control a floating triangle segmented into purple, orange, and green. Left-side buttons control ascent and descent; a right-side button rotates the triangle.
Frike features a single, infinite level. This seemingly limited scope is deceptive, as the gameplay unfolds endlessly. The game world, a moody, abstract landscape, is populated with colored blocks (white, purple, orange, green). Scoring involves aligning your triangle's corners with matching colored blocks. Colliding with mismatched or white blocks results in an explosion. Strategically placed blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent for easier alignment.
Frike exemplifies a minimalist arcade experience. While high-score chasing presents a challenge, the game also provides a relaxing, visually appealing journey through its abstract environment. Its understated visuals are complemented by a meditative soundtrack of echoing chimes and metallic tones. Download Frike for free now on the Google Play Store.
