**Friday Night Funkin' D-Sides**, also called **D-Sides Remixes**, is a remix-overhaul modification of *Friday Night Funkin'*, created by DastardlyDeacon, where D-Sides variants of characters from the original game and the Modding Community, as well the music, are featured.

D-Sides changes the appearance, personality, and story of a character to similar or opposite to the original, usually maintaining its name. But in some cases like Sensei, the name was changed to match their theme.

Kinda like in the main game. The player takes on the role of Boyfriend, a purple-haired wannabe rapper who is trying to date his beloved orange haired, demon Girlfriend. However, her rockstar father, Daddy Dearest, disapproves of their relationship because he has a terrible judge of character. He challenges Boyfriend to a sing-off for him to prove his worth. Even if Boyfriend succeeds, it won't be the last time he will hear from him, and he certainly won't be the only one to get in his way.

## Premise and Gameplay

### Controls

Players must use the WASD and/or the arrow keys on their keyboard to play. Players can change the letters if they want to.

To pause the game, the player must press the P or Enter key.

The player must press the - and + keys to decrease or increase the game volume respectively, and 0 to mute the game.

The player must press the R key at any time during a song to instantly trigger a Game Over.

During the Game Over screen, the player must press the Enter key, Z key or spacebar to restart the track. They must also press the escape or backspace key to quit.

### Notes

Using the key bindings specified in-game—WASD/arrow keys by default—players must press the keys in correspondence to the colored arrows (the notes) shown on-screen when they overlap with their markers. The placement of the notes in the chart matches the vocals in the song, with the character performing a singing animation when a note is hit.

If an arrow appears with a streak below it (a hold note), the player must hold that key for as long as the streak goes. Even though hold notes do not grant any extra points beyond the initial key press, holding it fully will rapidly restore a substantial amount of health, while missing one or letting go early could lead to substantial health loss. If the initial note is missed, players are still able to regain some health by holding the key down on the note's streak.

There are also different notes for some weeks and songs.

* **Gunshots**: During Week 3, Pico will fire his gun. To avoid gunshots, the player must hit black transparent notes, which will become more obstructive and constant. Missing the notes drains ¼ of the health bar. When Pico hits these notes, a reloading animation starts.
* **Fight Notes:** During Week 6 brownish notes will show up. When a character hits the arrow they will perform an attack, dealing damage to their opponent. For Sensei and Dwayne these functions as a method of pushback.
* **Ice Notes**: During "Too Slow", ice notes appear. Hitting these notes causes Boyfriend to freeze, forcing the player to miss the notes. To unfreeze Boyfriend, the player must press left and right repeatedly.
* **Gum Notes:** Once Mitee shows up in **Milk** in hard mode, Gum Notes will begin to appear. Hitting one will result in the gum obscuring the screen for a bit.

### Health Bar

At the bottom of the screen is a health bar that is shared between the characters. There are two colors, each color is the color of the character’s icon for example Boyfriend’s icon is pink so his side the health bar is pink. The health bar represents the player and how much health they have remaining. The bar will always be half full at the start of a song. For each note the player hits, they will restore a bit of health as Boyfriend's icon will move a bit to the left. For each miss, the player will lose some health as Boyfriend's icon will move a bit to the right. When the player gets low enough on health, Boyfriend's icon will swap to his "danger" icon to warn the player that they are close to losing. On the other hand, when the player has the health bar mostly full, the antagonist(s) will display their "danger" icon.

### Combo

Continuously hitting notes will eventually cause a streak counter to appear near Girlfriend. This counter always starts counting at 0 upon hitting a note. After that, players must hit 10 more notes for the counter to appear with each note press. From 10 and onward, the counter will be displayed, showing itself going up for every successful note the player hits without missing. If the player presses a key but misses a note, the counter resets.

The combo counter does not affect the score in any way and is mostly an aesthetic feature.

### Score

Hitting notes will give the player points. The points are added and tracked on a score counter below the health bar.

Below is a table explaining how many points the player get for different timings.

Hitting the key perfectly is indicated with the note creating a splash effect.

\*\*Letting a note pass causes no message to appear. Points will not be deducted, and the combo counter will not be reset. However, missing the note will lower the player's health.

## Crossovers

Unlike other remix mods, D-Sides creates new sprites with designs to match, ranging from slight tweaks to the original design, designs reminiscent to but distinct from the originals, it also changes personality, and story of a character to similar or opposite to the original. For example, in the Sonic Francize Maria was a kind loving character who loved shadow before she died. But in D-Sides. She takes on Robotnik's place as Sonic's arch-nemesis. In most cases for creepypasta mods, characters will not only get redesign, but be replaced by other characters such as Mighty.ZIP.
