Frankie Freako

Frankie Freako is an 8-bit roguelite action-platformer and a prequel based on the movie Frankie Freako. You play as Frankie, Boink or Dottie, climbing Munch Tower to overthrow Munch, the self-appointed Freak Lord who rules Freak World with an army of mechanical Freako Killers. With help from rad-hacker Bingo Bongo, you fight through procedural floors, collect powers and try to reach the elevator before security catches you.

The rise of Munch

The Freakos once lived peacefully on their home planet. Munch took over with his army of Freako Killers and forced the Freakos to operate the phone hotlines of Munch Industries. Frankie, Boink and Dottie set out to climb the tower and challenge him.

Climb Munch Tower

Each run takes you through procedurally assembled floors, starting in the sewers beneath Munch Tower and continuing into its more dangerous upper levels. Layouts and random boon choices change from run to run, so you adapt to the enemies, find a route and make the most of the powers offered.

You can grab objects and throw them at Munch’s robotic army. Stun a Freako Killer, pick it up and use it against its companions. Smash destructible scenery for loot, dash in any direction—including in mid-air—and use your character’s special attack when enemies crowd around you.

Beat the clock

Bingo can hold off Munch’s security for only so long. Defeating enemies earns extra time, and clearing a floor opens the exit. Once the last Freako Killer is down, you can head for the elevator or risk staying to collect more loot before time runs out.

Build your Freako

After each successful escape, choose a power to shape your build as you climb. Boons can improve throwing damage, your dash or your special attack, or make poor Freako hygiene useful in combat. They have different rarities, including powerful higher levels, and some upgrades are specific to particular characters. Garlic Soda and Fart Loafers are among the available boons.

Between runs, you can spend loot in Bingo’s upgrade store to improve your starting capabilities. Even a failed climb can earn funds toward an upgrade, and your next run offers a fresh set of boon choices.

Play as the Freakos

You start with Frankie and unlock the other two characters. Each has a distinct special attack and exclusive boons:

• Frankie: Clear a crowd with his devil scream.
• Boink: Pound Munch’s army with his extendo-fist.
• Dottie: Use her sharpshooting skills with bullets and gun-focused upgrades.

Reach and defeat Munch, then escape to complete a victorious run. Winning with all three characters reveals the full ending.
