Friday Night Funkin Gameplay

Friday Night Funkin' is a rhythm game in which the player must pass multiple "weeks", each containing three songs. Each week, the player faces a different opponent.[note 1]

During gameplay, the opponent will sing a pattern of notes which the player must mirror by pressing the arrow keys or WASD. 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 causes the opponent's bar to expand. The player fails if the opponent's bar fills up the entire bar.

The player takes the role of a blue-haired boy referred to as "Boyfriend" (often shortened to "BF") who wants to date his girlfriend (similarly shortened to "GF"), but her father, an ex-rockstar, disapproves of their relationship. He must convince her father to let him date her through musical talent.

As of version 0.2.7.1 of Friday Night Funkin', there are 6 weeks the player must play through, as well as an upcoming 7th week leaked by the developer of the game.

In Week 2, Skid and Pump (a cameo of characters belonging to the Youtuber Sr. Pelo) celebrate Spooky Month as they do always, they come across Girlfriend's parents' house and a monster (known as Monster) wants Skid and Pump to bring the Girlfriend over to be his "special treat" and to challenge Boyfriend to win the Girlfriend. However, the monster was actually tricking Skid and Pump in order to eat Girlfriend and rap battles Boyfriend on an unused track for the week titled "Monster", leaving Week 2 to be the only week with 2 songs instead of 3, however the track is planned to be re-added to the game at some point.

In Week 3 and after the events of Pico's School, Daddy Dearest hires Pico as a hitman in order to kill Boyfriend after getting humiliated by Boyfriend in Week 1. When Pico finds Boyfriend, he recognizes him and rap battles with him instead.

In Week 4, the Boyfriend must face-off against the Girlfriend's mother, known simply as "The Mom". Week 4 takes place on the rooftop of a couple of limos with dancing devils on the back. Week 4 is particularly infamous for having one of the hardest songs in the game, "M.I.L.F."
