sprunki msi pyramixed 0.9 - When Your Computer Tries to Beatbox
Okay so I was trying to explain this to my friend last night and they just... walked away. Can't blame them really. Sprunki msi pyramixed 0.9 is one of those things you either get immediately or you stare at like "wait what am I supposed to do here?"
Basically it's like if someone took the original Sprunki concept and ran it through a blender with some extra MSI-branded glitter. The colors are brighter, the sounds are... weirder? And there's this weird satisfaction when two icons sync up perfectly. Better than morning coffee honestly.
#153 "There's no loop function. You have to manually restart. Barbaric." - I feel this so much. Like, I just want to set up a nice little rhythm and let it play while I do other stuff, but nope, gotta keep clicking. It's weirdly meditative though? Once you get into the flow, you stop thinking about it and just... click.
The thing is, if you've played other Sprunki versions (and let's be real, who hasn't at this point), this one feels both familiar and different. Like meeting an old friend who got a weird haircut. You recognize them but also you're like "huh." The operation complexity compared to simpler versions is... actually not that different? Maybe one extra step somewhere? I don't know, my brain was on autopilot after 10 minutes.
#264 "This is what plays when you put a CD in upside down but it still tries to play." - That's actually a pretty accurate description of some of the sound combos you can make. I was trying to mimic rain sounds yesterday - you know, like proper ambient rainfall - and ended up with something that sounded more like a robot sneezing repeatedly. Not what I was going for, but honestly? Kinda vibe with it.
Speaking of which, does anyone actually understand how the scoring works? Or if there even IS scoring? Like, I just click things until they sound good to me. And tutorial mode? What tutorial? You just dive in and figure it out. Which is part of the charm, I guess. It's like musical legos - you just start snapping pieces together and see what happens.
#312 "If a loading screen was a band, this would be their first single." - Right?? It has that "waiting for something to happen" energy but make it funky. Perfect for those nights when you can't sleep and just need something to click at without thinking too hard.
Can you save your progress? I don't think so? Or if you can, I haven't found how. Which adds to the whole "ephemeral art" thing. You make something cool, it exists for a few minutes, then it's gone forever. Like digital sand mandalas.
#419 "Like the background noise of a futuristic office." - Yeah, exactly! It's that kind of sound that would be playing in the background of some cyberpunk corporate lobby. All clean lines and synthetic textures. The visuals match too - lots of geometric shapes, bright but not overwhelming colors (okay maybe a little overwhelming if you play too long).
My cat actually likes watching this one. She particularly enjoys the orange character's bounce animation. I swear she's trying to tap the screen with her paw sometimes. Either that or she's judging my musical choices. Probably both.
Anyway, if you're looking for something to do before bed that doesn't require too much brainpower but still feels vaguely creative, this is a solid choice. Just don't expect to make actual music. Expect to make... interesting noises. And that's okay! Interesting noises have their place in the world too.
