Each of the four opponents you can go against fit in perfectly despite two of them being creations from other famous creators, and each of them have their own distinct musical style.

The art style resembles a very refined version of the old Newgrounds flash animations. The main appeal is the visual style and just how catchy the songs are. It's worth noting that despite appearances, that bar acts as little more than a health bar - you won't get benefits or be penalized unless you zero out, at which point it's a game over. Hit the notes with correct timing and the bar at the bottom will start leaning in your direction. The gameplay is straightforward, with your opponent's notes going up the left and your note going up the right. There is a "story" mode, but it amounts to little more than playing through all of an opponent's song back to back and getting a cumulative score in the end. However, her music-loving parents don't like you, so you have to engage in a musical battle with them to prove your worth. You play as "Boyfriend", and you want to get with "Girlfriend". The game's premise is so to the point it's amusing.

To play Friday Night Funkin', simply unzip the file wherever you want and run the executable. That's why it's such a joy to see a game like Friday Night Funkin' go back to the style of the old Newgrounds animations while also being fun and stylish as hell.

While it's faded away a bit in recent times, it's still an important part of internet culture. Newgrounds has had an incredible impact on the internet, serving as the first big hub for independent creators to really have a platform in the new internet age.
