Incredibox - Sprunki
Incredibox - Sprunki is a fan made music game and mod built on the Incredibox formula, where you drag sound icons onto little beatbox characters to build tracks. Instead of plain humans, the cast is a set of bright, cartoony creatures from the Sprunki universe, each tied to a looped beat, effect, melody or vocal. This version of Sprunki plays like a full Incredibox style session: you start with seven blank characters on a stage, a strip of roughly twenty icons along the bottom, and complete freedom to layer them into whatever chaotic or surprisingly chill mix you want. The normal mode leans into neon colours and playful animation; if you want something darker you can also trigger a horror mode with more intense visuals and sound. Originally created as a fan project and shared through mod platforms and browsers, Sprunki has since been ported and rebuilt multiple times, including open source and moddable versions so the community can keep expanding it. Why this game is truly cozy Loop based music with no fail state There is no score, timer or game over. You simply drag icons, listen, swap things in and out and find the moment where your mix feels right. You can sit with it for five minutes or lose an hour without noticing. Colourful characters with distinct sounds Every Sprunki character has its own visual identity and sound role, from solid drum beats to strange background effects or sweet little melodies. Watching the stage fill up with a rainbow of moving creatures is half the fun; realising how their loops interlock is the other half. Easy to learn, satisfying to master The interface is point and click only. Anyone can get a decent groove going by randomly dropping icons, but if you enjoy tinkering you can learn which sounds sit well together, how many vocals is too many, and which combos create really punchy choruses. Chill creativity with optional chaos You can stay completely in normal mode and treat Sprunki as a colourful toy for relaxed music making. If you feel like leaning into the horror twist, you can also flip into the darker mode and build a harsher, glitchier track. The mood is mostly up to you. A very loud fan community Because the open source builds are moddable, there are countless edits, phases and spin off mods. That means lots of shared mixes, favourite character debates and fan art to browse when you are done mixing. Gameplay Breakdown Incredibox - Sprunki follows the classic Incredibox structure with a Sprunki skin and a horror twist. Pick your platform and load a session The game runs in a browser and in downloadable builds. When you start a session you will see a row of empty characters standing in the middle and a strip of icons along the bottom of the screen. Drag icons onto polos to add sounds Each icon belongs to one of four categories beats, effects, melodies and vocals. Drag an icon onto a character to dress them up and start their loop. You can stack up to seven loops at once, swap icons between characters, or remove an icon to mute a sound. Build your mix layer by layer Most players start with beats, then add a bass style melody, then decorate the mix with effects and a couple of vocals. Nothing stops you from doing the opposite, but the game tends to sound more satisfying if you set up a solid rhythm first and treat the rest as colour. Trigger the horror mode with the Black icon One special vocal icon, usually drawn as a black top hat, is tied to the horror mode. Dropping that onto a character temporarily fades the screen to black and swaps the stage into a horror version where everyone looks injured or uncanny and the audio becomes more intense. You can still add and remove sounds in this mode just like before. Explore secrets and gallery details Sprunki also hides little extras such as bonus characters that appear when you meet certain conditions or type secret phrases, and a gallery that shows doodles and tiny lore teasers about the cast. None of this is required to enjoy the music, but it is a nice reward for curious players. Whenever you get bored of a mix you can use the reset button at the top of the screen to clear all characters and start fresh. Mini Tips Start with two or three beats and one melody before adding lots of effects Try muting individual characters one by one to hear what each loop is really doing in your song Use vocals sparingly if you want a smoother mix and stack them if you want deliberate chaos If you prefer cozy vibes, simply avoid the black hat icon so you do not enter horror mode at all If you get into Sprunki long term, look into open source or moddable builds so you can experiment with your own sound sets or character art FAQ Is Incredibox Sprunki scary or cozy It can be both. Normal mode is bright, playful and perfectly fine if you just want low pressure music play. Horror mode adds blood, injuries and more unsettling sound design, so it is better suited to teens and older players who like a bit of creepiness mixed with their beats. How long does a typical session take There is no built in end point. Many people hop in for ten minutes to clear their head, others sit for an hour carefully balancing layers or recording several different mixes. Is this an official Incredibox game No. Sprunki started life as an unofficial fan mod built on the original Incredibox framework and has since grown into its own ecosystem of ports and fan projects. It is inspired by Incredibox but made by a different creator. On what devices can I play Sprunki You can play it in a browser on a computer, and there are downloadable versions for desktop and mobile depending on the port you choose. If one site stops hosting it, there are usually mirrors or updated builds elsewhere in the community. What age rating and content warnings should I know about The normal mode is suitable for most players who are comfortable with cartoon style characters. The horror mode includes stylised gore, visible injuries and unsettling faces, along with tenser audio, so it is closer to a teen rating. If you or your kids are sensitive to blood or horror imagery, stay in normal mode or skip Sprunki entirely. How is Sprunki different from regular Incredibox Mechanically it works almost the same, but the cast is made up of Sprunki creatures instead of human beatboxers, the sound set has its own flavour, there is a built in horror transformation, and the mod scene around it is especially active. If you already like Incredibox and want something weirder and more chaotic, Sprunki is an easy next step. If you enjoy experimental music toys, character focused fan communities and a mix of cosy creativity with optional creepiness, Incredibox Sprunki is a fun rabbit hole to fall into.
