Friday Night Funkin’ has quickly become a massively popular homage to flash player games. If you’ve never heard of Friday Night Funkin’ until now, keep reading to find out more.
The game Friday Night Funkin’ was actually released in September 2005 by a small group of university students, though they’ve been tweaking it ever since.
It’s a flash game that plays out like the classic Flash game, like Bubble Bobble, with more colorful graphics and a
It was first created in 2005 by three students of the game development course at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium, but it didn’t take off in popularity until 2009 when they released a Facebook game page that the game garnered large popularity.
Friday Night Funkin’ isn’t the flash game you play for just a few minutes at a time, though it’s still incredibly popular.
It can actually be played over many different browser games and each game session can be played for multiple hours.
“So yeah, playing a game for up to eight hours, or even more, is quite common,” says Sridhar Karanam, one of the original creators of Friday Night Funkin’.
The Flash game has been more or less completely rewritten three times since its inception. You can play the newest version on the Friday Night Funkin’ website, where the newest version will feature the best graphics yet.
The game was initially named after its creator’s good friend J. Mario and then was named for the album “Friday Night by the Russian Circles,” in which the title track was featured. The game has even been the subject of a music video.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing the latest and greatest version of this game when it’s released on Friday!
What Is Friday Night Funkin?
Friday Night Funkin is an insanely popular game that’s free to download. After downloading the app, it can be played in Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Chrome.
You can use your mouse, or your finger, or your keyboard. Once you launch the game you’ll start in a 2D room with a few elements on the floor.
As you explore the room, you’ll find a rock, which is worth an incredibly large amount of coins (as well as a huge amount of points). The game also features rock pillars and other random objects. If you find yourself without the rock, you can use the walls as a ladder to get to the next area.
If you’re lucky enough to find a golden brick, you’ll get a score multiplier that’s usually between 1 and 3. (If you get a multiplier of 1, you get the rock.) The golden brick is extremely rare and can only be found in the very last room of the game.
When you finish the game, you’ll have created your own album using your best scores from previous games.
It’s quite fun to play through the album and record a bunch of songs using your best scores. You can get your music player software of choice to play the songs in the game. The music player will also let you set the tempo.
When you’re done playing the game, you’ll get the option to save your high score, change your name, and view your album.
I could spend all day playing this game, and I know you will too!
Friday Night Funkin’ Flash Game Design
Friday Night Funkin’ has been rewritten many times since it was first created. All of the designers and programmers that have created Friday Night Funkin are from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium.
This is one of the few Flash games that have been written entirely in HTML5 and CSS3, and the artists that created the graphics have done so with Inkscape.
One thing that makes the game so addictive is the randomness of the room. It’s fairly easy to find a low percentage room in which you have a reasonable chance of scoring a rock, but there are many different rooms in which scoring a golden brick is difficult.
For example, in one of my recent games, I’d actually discovered an “unknown room” and scored a golden brick on my very first visit.
I went back and didn’t find a golden brick for the rest of the game. It’s these kinds of rare gems that keep you playing for hours.
As you play, you’ll notice that the environment will change slightly. Sometimes there will be a rock pillar, or there will be a golden brick in the last room.
It’s interesting that the designers chose to design the rooms so that they wouldn’t make the game too easy or too hard. It’s a very relaxing environment that’s comfortable and calming.
Conclusion
The themes in the Friday Night Funkin games are meant to complement each other. You’ll never know what you’re going to find next.
For example, the game was updated recently to feature Christmas themes, since it’s getting close to Christmas.
Friday Night Funkin is a very fun, relaxing game. You’ll spend hours creating and playing this game. Check out the game for yourself on the Friday Night Funkin website.
