FNF Games

FNF or Friday Night Funkin is an upcoming rhythm video game developed by Funkin Crew Inc. and released on Newgrounds in 2020.

The game is developed by a small group called The Funkin Crew Inc., which consists primarily of Cameron "ninjamuffin99" Taylor, David "PhantomArcade" Brown, Isaac "Kawai Sprite" Garcia, and evilsk8r.
The game is also open-source. It shares some gameplay features with Dance Dance Revolution, PaRappa the Rapper, and the "Dance Contest" minigame from Club Penguin, and borrows aesthetic influences from Flash games.
The game has been credited with driving users back to Newgrounds, a site that rose in popularity in the early 2000s.

Gameplay Overview

The game revolves around the player character, Boyfriend, who must defeat a variety of opponents in singing and rapping contests in order to continue dating his love interest, Girlfriend.
Gameplay involves hitting notes with timed inputs while avoiding running out of health for the duration of the song.

The game was initially created for the Ludum Dare 47 game jam on October 5, 2020.
An expanded demo was released on November 1, 2020, with updates continually released in the following months.
A full version of the game backed by Kickstarter, titled Friday Night Funkin: The Full Ass Game, is in development.

Game Mechanics

Friday Night Funkin is a rhythm game in which the player controls a character called Boyfriend, who must defeat a series of opponents to continue dating his significant other, Girlfriend.

The player must pass multiple levels, referred to as Weeks in-game, containing three songs each.
Each week, the player faces a different opponent, though some deviate in structure from this via the inclusion of multiple opponents.
During gameplay, the opponent will sing a pattern of notes represented as arrows, which the player must then mirror by using their set keybinds.

By default, the controls are:
Arrow keys (?, ?, ?, ?)
W, A, S, and D keys on a keyboard

Some songs introduce more complicated patterns, with the player's pattern sometimes varying from the opponent's or both singers engaging in a duet.

Difficulty Levels

For each week, the player has the option to select one of three difficulties:

Easy
Normal
Hard

As the difficulty increases, the speed of incoming arrows increases, and the patterns of arrows become more complex.
The player's high score for each week on each difficulty is tracked and shown in the top corner of the week selection screen.

Game Modes

The game contains two different modes of play:

Story Mode � Songs are played linearly as part of the campaign.
Freeplay Mode � Allows free selection of any of the game's music tracks.

Selected songs also have harder remixes under the Erect and Nightmare difficulties.
