Frets on Fire is a music skill game for testing out how fast your fingers are on the guitar and keyboard.
This Guitar Hero clone utilizes an inverted keyboard setup for gameplay using F1-F5 for the fretboard and the enter key for picking but does support guitar controllers and generic joysticks. Frets on Fire's included tutorial is hysterical featuring the voice of the developer - who pokes fun at your inferior ability and teases that the most important key is ESC since you stink!
The aim of the Frets on Fire is to play guitar with the keyboard as accurately as possible.
