Geometric Arcade Delight: Frike Now Live on Android

Some video games get your heart racing and your blood pressure rising—that's what makes them thrilling. Others have a calming effect, inducing a state of peaceful meditation. Both types offer unique appeal.

Frike, the debut Android game from indie developer chakahacka, uniquely blends these contrasting experiences.

The objective in Frike is simple: survival. You control a floating triangle, divided into purple, orange, and green sections. Two on-screen buttons control ascent and descent, while a third rotates the triangle.

Frike features a single, yet expansive level—it's infinitely long. You'll never reach the end.

Scattered throughout Frike's atmospheric, abstract world are colored blocks (white, purple, orange, and green). Scoring involves rotating your triangle to align its corners with matching colored squares.

Colliding with too many mismatched or white squares results in your triangle's destruction. However, some squares offer bonus effects, slowing your descent to aid in precise maneuvering.

Frike exemplifies a minimalist arcade casual game. While competitive players might find it intensely challenging, those seeking relaxation can simply navigate obstacles and appreciate the visuals.

The game's understated graphics are complemented by a meditative soundtrack of resonant chimes and metallic tones.

If this sounds appealing, Frike is available now as a free download on the Google Play Store.
