Frike: A Minimalist Android Game That's Both Thrilling and Relaxing

Some games pump you up, raising your heart rate and blood pressure. Others offer a calming, meditative experience. Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends both these styles.

The objective in Frike 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 gameplay is infinite. You'll never reach the end. The game unfolds in a moody, abstract world filled with colored blocks (white, purple, orange, and green). Scoring involves rotating your triangle to match its colored segments with corresponding blocks.

Mismatched or white block collisions result in a fiery explosion. However, some blocks offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to aid in precise maneuvering.

Frike perfectly embodies the minimalist arcade casual genre. While high-score chasing can be intense, the game also allows for relaxed play, letting you drift through the abstract landscape and appreciate the visuals and soundscape.

The game features understated visuals complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic tones.
