Friday Night Funkin' is a free-to-play and open-source[1]rhythm game. Developed by a team of four Newgrounds users, the game has a play style that is similar to Dance Dance Revolution and PaRappa the Rapper, and with an aesthetic reminiscent of Flash games popular in the early-to-mid 2000s.[2][3]
The game revolves around the player character, simply named 'Boyfriend', who has to defeat an array of characters in singing and rapping contests for him to be able to date his love interest, 'Girlfriend'.
Gameplay
Friday Night Funkin' is a rhythm game in which the player must pass multiple levels, referred to as 'weeks', each containing multiple songs. Each week, the player faces a different opponent.
During 'story mode' gameplay, the opponent will sing a pattern of notes, which the player must then mirror by using the arrow keys or the keys W, A, S, and D. Later songs introduce more complicated patterns, with the player's pattern sometimes varying from the opponent's or both singers engaging in a duet.
At the bottom of the screen is a bar indicating how well the player is doing. The left side of the bar is red, representing the opponent. The right side is green, representing the player. Successfully hitting notes will increase the size of the player's bar, while missing notes or pressing when there are no notes will cause the opponent's bar to expand. The player fails if the opponent's bar fills up the entire bar. The player wins if their bar survives for the entire song.
For each week, the player has the option to select one of three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard. As the difficulty increases, the speed of incoming arrows increases and the patterns of arrows become more complicated. The player's high score for each week on each difficulty is tracked and shown in the top corner of the week selection screen.
The player can also play in 'free play' mode, where the 'week' structure and any cutscenes are ignored and the player can play any individual song on its own.
Plot
Week 1
Week 1 (titled 'Daddy Dearest') features the songs 'Bopeebo', 'Fresh', and 'Dad Battle'. The player takes the role of a blue-haired boy referred to as 'Boyfriend' (often shortened to 'BF' by fans) who wants to date his girlfriend (similarly shortened to 'GF' by fans), whose father, an ex-rock star, disapproves of their relationship. Boyfriend must convince Girlfriend's father to let him date her through his musical talent.
Week 2
Week 2 (titled 'Spooky Month') features the songs 'South', 'Spookeez', and 'Monster'. The opponents of Week 2 are a Halloween-themed duo called Skid and Pump (from the Sr Pelo animated web series 'Spooky Month'),[4] who look like a small skeleton and pumpkin, respectively. Another opponent exists in this Week as well, a monster with a lemon-shaped head, simply referred to as 'Monster'.
Week 3
Week 3 (titled 'Pico') features the songs 'Pico', 'Philly Nice', and 'Blammed'. Boyfriend must battle against Pico, a mascot of Newgrounds and the protagonist of Pico's School.
Week 4
Week 4 (titled 'Mommy Must Murder') features the songs 'Satin Panties', 'High', and 'M.I.L.F'. Boyfriend must face-off against Girlfriend's mother, referred to simply as 'The Mom'. Week 4 takes place on the rooftop of several limousines, with dancing henchmen in the background.
Week 5
Week 5 (titled 'Red Snow') features the songs 'Cocoa', 'Eggnog', and 'Winter Horrorland'. Week 5 takes place in a shopping mall, around Christmas, where Boyfriend must battle against both of Girlfriend's parents. The Monster from Week 2 returns as well.
Week 6
Week 6 (titled 'Hating Simulator ft. Moawling') features the songs 'Senpai', 'Roses', and 'Thorns'. The graphics for Week 6 are 16-bit. Boyfriend must battle against a character named 'Senpai', who also wants to date Girlfriend.
Week 7
Week 7 (titled 'Tankman') features the songs 'Ugh', 'Guns', and 'Stress'. Boyfriend, with the help of Girlfriend and Pico, battles against John Captain (Tankman), another Newgrounds mascot.
Development
Ninjamuffin99 and three of his friends from Newgrounds (artists Dave 'Phantom Arcade' Brown and evilsk8r, as well as composer Isaac 'Kawai Sprite' Garcia) initially developed Friday Night Funkin' as a submission to the Ludum Dare 47, posting a demo of Week 1 online with only two songs. The demo received unexpected success, leading to many requests for a full game. In response to this, Ninjamuffin99 said that he was already planning to expand the game, and to think of the Ludum Dare build as more of a prototype than a demo for the game.[citation needed]
Ninjamuffin99 posted a new build on Newgrounds (and later Itch.io) on November 1, 2020 that added a new title screen, a new song for Week 1, a level select menu, freeplay and story modes, a tutorial, a new game over screen, a pause menu, a debug mode, updated Boyfriend icons, and Week 2. Interest in the game grew, and it quickly became the highest-rated game in Newgrounds' 25-year history. The game has also received significant attention via trends on platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and Twitch. The game has an active modding community due to its open source release, allowing for the implementation of fan-made content.[2][3][5][6][7] As a result, the game will receive polymod support.[8] Week 7 was released as a timed exclusive on Newgrounds.[9] Because of the amount of people trying to play the game, the Newgrounds website crashed for a time.[10]
Its soundtrack, by composer Kawai Sprite, has been made available for free on Bandcamp and Spotify.[11]
Campaign
Friday Night Funkin Parappa Mod Download
In April 2021, they announced plans to launch a Kickstarter project later in the month, to turn the demo into a full game.[12] On April 18, a Kickstarter for the full version of the game was released, and reached its goal of $60,000 within hours.[13]

New games show up everywhere, whether that be the hallowed halls of Steam, the ultra-cool venue of itch.io, or the seedy punk dive of Newgrounds. All of these places and many more are necessary because the more there are the easier it is to get games in front of people’s eyes. Newgrounds has always been a loud screaming mess of crazed gaming overload, which is exactly what it needs to be for its audience to learn to create just about anything they can think of. For the most part these games aren’t really designed with the idea of breakout success in mind but sometimes it happens anyway. The latest to have that happen is a music-rhythm game called Friday Night Funkin’, which has been seeing regular content drops of new music and levels and getting more popular with each one. This got so intense that last night’s Week 7 release killed Newgrounds stone-cold dead and necessitated the update being removed until the site could handle the traffic.
Friday Night Funkin Parappa Rating Mod
Friday Night Funkin’ is usually described as a bit of Dance Dance Revolution mixed with Parappa the Rapper, which is absolutely accurate. The arrows fly up from the bottom of the screen and you need to tap one of the four directions in time to the beat, and the overall setup of each level is a call-response of rhythm. The Boyfriend loves The Girlfriend but her demon parents disapprove, and this is a problem that can only be solved by rap battles. Thankfully there’s no voice, and instead the excellent soundtrack integrates perfectly with blips and boops as you hit the notes in time to the song. The challenger on the left goes first while you get a sense of the beat and note pattern and then it’s your turn, trying to match the music as each new verse gets more crowded with note cues. When the tune really takes off both challenger and Boyfriend may end up rapping together, their combined rhythms bringing the soundtrack alive in a way that electro-boops really shouldn’t be capable of. Friday Night Funkin’ is good fun to great music, and being free on Newgrounds has boosted its popularity beyond all expectations.
The next step, of course, is to turn Friday Night Funkin’ into a full game, and its Kickstarter launched with the Week 7 release to instant success. The $60,000 goal has been hit with an x11 multiplier as of this writing, earning a huge number of stretch goals including online multiplayer and an extra fifteen songs to go with the sixty that had been planned. It seems pretty likely that the stratospheric goal of the ten-week epilogue (three songs per week, so another thirty, plus two more fifteen-song stretch goals along the way) is going to be cleared without too much trouble, and maybe with a little luck and a whole lot of support the PS1 (yes, original Sony PSX) version on disc will actually happen.
Friday Night Funkin’ is live on Kickstarter now. Head on over and take a look, and maybe help it along the way to the coveted PS1 version.
