Friday Night Funkin’ (32-bit)

Friday Night Funkin’ is a rhythm music game developed in the early 2000s for PC and web platforms. It is inspired by popular titles such as Dance Dance Revolution and PaRappa The Rapper, enabling players of all ages to become one with the music in this fun and engaging indie title that received notable coverage from several gaming media outfits such as PlayStation Magazine.

Built from the ground up to be as accessible as possible, this nostalgic rhythm-based game demands players only to have a good sense of rhythm, and if they don’t have it, this Funkin game can help them develop it in style.

The story of the Friday Night Funkin’ 32 bit game is centered on Boyfriend and Girlfriend, two characters that want to kiss but cannot do so because the Girlfriend’s father is an evil rocker who would do everything in his power to kill Boyfriend. To defeat her father and his minions, Boyfriend of course uses the power of music and dance.

All that the player has to do is press the main control buttons at specific times when the game asks him to do so with visual on-screen cues, all the while collecting points and rewards every time the keypress matches the currently active rhythm beat. On-screen beat arrows will move on the screen from side to side, toward the left when the Boyfriend is winning, and more toward the right when he is losing. The overall battle meter on the bottom of the screen determines who will win at the end of the song.

• Easy-to-follow game mechanics

Music volume can be changed with “–“ and “+”while muting and unmuting all sounds can be done with “0”.
