Gameplay

Friday Night Funkin' is a rhythm game where the player controls Boyfriend, a young male who is trying to date his girlfriend. However, he must defeat multiple bosses by rap battling in order to do so. Boyfriend goes through multiple "weeks", which contain three songs (or more) each. The player rap battles the opponents by pressing the WASD or arrow keys although other controls were made optional in more recent updates (up, left, down, right).

The player can choose to play the story mode or free-play. Story mode allows the player to play the game in multiple weeks as understanding why or how he got in this place or plot. Free-play allows the player to play each song individually. The game also includes a tutorial that can teach boyfriend (the player) how to play.

Friday Night Funkin', due to it being an open-source game, has an active modding community. Mods are fan-made weeks remade to have different bosses, backgrounds, assets, and such. The full game will have mod support using the Poly-mod framework.
