Free music-themed action game
Friday Night Funkin’ is a free music adventure game where the Boyfriend attempts to gain the attention of the Girlfriend by singing off against the Dad and a few other enemies. Ninjamuffin99 developed it for Ludum Dare 47, which has been gaining steady popularity among casual gamers.
In Friday Night Funkin', you are pitted against opponents in singing battles. Don’t worry, though, since you won’t actually have to sing against them with real vocals, like in UltraStar Deluxe. The story follows 19-year-old Boyfriend as he does his best to win the love of Girlfriend. However, you’ll need to impress Dad with your singing skills if you want to reach her.
