sprunki phase 25 update
Okay So Phase 25 Got an Update... What's Actually New?
My buddy Marcus—who once spent three hours trying to make the Imperial March using only Sprunki sounds—texted me: "Dude, Phase 25 updated. There's a new icon that sounds like a dolphin with a kazoo." Obviously, I had to investigate.
First impression: it looks... shinier? Like someone polished the original Phase 25 (which I played maybe six months ago? Time is fake) and added some extra glitter. The colors pop more, the characters have smoother animations—or maybe I'm imagining things because I need new glasses.
The "What's Actually Different" List (That I Made While Eating Lunch)
1. There's definitely new icons. I counted... uh, lost count after seven. But there's this teal spiral thing that makes a rising "woosh" sound that wasn't there before. And a orange... gear? That goes *clank-clank-tink* in a rhythm that's weirdly addictive.
2. The interface feels more responsive. Dragging icons feels snappier. Remember how in the old version sometimes they'd stick? That seems fixed. Small thing, but it matters when you're trying to make a beat at 2 AM instead of sleeping like a normal person.
3. Some of the old sounds got tweaked. The green "bass drop" icon sounds... deeper? Or maybe my headphones are dying. Hard to tell.
Q&A I Made Up Based on What I Think People Would Ask
Q: How many new sound packs/characters are included?
A: Not a "pack" per se, but there's at least 4-5 new icons that I could spot. Maybe more hidden? I didn't do a scientific study. There's also what looks like a new character slot on the far right that wasn't active in my playthrough—maybe unlockable?
Q: Can I import my own sounds?
A: Hahahaha no. This isn't professional software. It's a browser game where blobs go "bloop." Manage your expectations.
Q: What's the audio quality like?
A: It's... fine? Sounds clear through my laptop speakers. Not studio quality, but you're not recording a Grammy-winning album here. You're making silly beats to procrastinate.
The "Let's Try to Make Something Good" Challenge (Spoiler: I Failed)
Goal: Make a beat that could be in a lo-fi study playlist.
Time limit: 3 minutes (I set a timer on my phone).
Result: Something that started promising with a chill bassline, then I added the new "dolphin kazoo" icon and it turned into circus music. 2/10, would not study to.
But! The process was fun. The new icons integrate well with the old ones. They don't feel tacked on or out of place like in some mods (looking at you, sprunki mustard mod—love you but you're chaotic).
Personal Pet Peeve Section
I still wish there was a way to adjust individual volumes. Like, that new teal woosh sound is COOL but it drowns out everything else. I want to turn it down to like 70% so it sits in the background.
But that's probably asking too much from a free browser game. I should just be happy it exists.
Comparison Time: Update vs Original Phase 25
If you've played the original—which you probably have if you're reading this—the update feels like a "director's cut." Same core experience, but with some nice polish and extras.
It's not as radically different as going from sprunki phase 1.1 to phase 29. More like... they took feedback and fixed some rough edges.
Is it worth revisiting if you've already played Phase 25 to death? Maybe? The new icons alone gave me another hour of "what does THIS one do?" experimentation. And isn't that the whole point?
Weird Observation That Probably Means Nothing
There's this purple character in the middle that, when you put the new gold star icon on it, does a little dance animation that the others don't do. Easter egg? Glitch? I don't know, but it made me smile.
It's those little details that show someone actually cares about this thing. Even if it's "just" a silly music game.
Final Thoughts (Written While My Coffee Gets Cold)
The Phase 25 Update is solid. It doesn't reinvent the wheel—if you hated Sprunki before, you'll still hate it. If you love it, you'll love this slightly-enhanced version.
It's like when your favorite pizza place adds a new topping option. The pizza's still fundamentally the same, but now you can get artichokes on it if you want.
Would I recommend it over something like sprunki pyramixed 0.9? Depends on your mood. That one's wild and unpredictable. This is more... refined chaos.
Anyway, I'm going back to try to make the dolphin kazoo work with a bassline. Wish me luck. I'll probably fail, but the failure will at least sound interesting.
Update: Failed again. It still sounds like a circus. But a well-produced circus!
