[https://ninja-muffin24.itch.io/funkin Friday Night Funkin'] is an odd game for a variety of reasons; mostly, however, because it appears to exist out of its own time. A game with the aesthetic, mechanical and cultural sensibilities of 2007, catapulted to enormous popularity among a demographic which never experienced most of that decade first-hand.

The ease of access presented by the Adobe Flash engine meant many independent creators could make animations and small browser games with vector graphics<ref>Warren, Christina (19.11.2012): "[https://mashable.com/archive/history-of-flash The Life, Death and Rebirth of Adobe Flash]." Mashable, retrieved 6.3.2022</ref>, leading to the proliferation of a specific art style that remains recognizable to this day.

Notable here is the recent renaissance of several games in this style with roots in Newgrounds, especially with younger audiences: Friday Night Funkin', [https://www.innersloth.com/games/among-us/ Among Us] and the [https://www.innersloth.com/games/the-henry-stickmin-collection/ Henry Stickmin] series being the largest at time of writing.

The game is, on its face, quite simple; there is no complex narrative, the full range of surface level interaction provided can be experienced in a few seconds, and the graphics are, if not ugly, very simple - plus, they hearken back to an era many of its players would have no memory of. What, then, makes it so appealing to an audience of teenagers? These are some of the questions that drove our interest in analysing the game.

The game is quite playfully macho. The character Pico waves around a comically large gun, the demonic father wears a suit jacket over his bare chest, and the entire concept of the rap battle encounters calls back to an era of high testosterone MTV music videos.<ref>Arthur, Damien.

=== How is the theme communicated to the player? ===

Primarily through backdrops and flourishes during gameplay: The girlfriend cheers you on, especially when doing well, and failure shows an embarrassing graphic. Two characters are, by the titles of their encounters (Daddy Dearest and Mommy Must Murder respectively), implied to be the girlfriend’s demonic parents.

The original Ludum Dare prototype's description outlines the story as follows:

Beyond this, however, the game largely doesn't have a traditional story, especially during gameplay.

=== Does the game include any sub goals? ===

== Procedures ==

Everything is rendered in a very off-the-cuff vector style, like many old Flash games. (Note that this is common in other titles which share FNF's heritage, such as Among Us). Sprites are frequently rotated and moved instead of completely redrawn, to give the game more bounce and vibrance without much development cost.

=== Are other games referenced? ===

=== Is the art style inspired by real life? ===
