Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing
Some games pump you up; others soothe you. Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, masterfully blends both experiences.
Your objective in Frike is simple: survive as long as possible. You control a floating triangle with purple, orange, and green sections. Two buttons control ascent and descent, while a third rotates the triangle.
Don't let the single level fool you; Frike's world is infinite. You'll never reach the end. The gameplay revolves around matching colored blocks: purple, orange, green, and white. Match your triangle's corners to the corresponding colored blocks to score points.
Hit too many white or mismatched blocks, and it's game over. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent for easier maneuvering.
Frike perfectly embodies the minimalist arcade genre. While high-score chasing can be intense, it also offers a relaxing experience, allowing you to simply drift through the abstract landscape. The visuals are understated, complemented by a meditative soundtrack of echoing chimes and metallic sounds.
