Sprunki Phase 5 Definitive V2: Is This Really The "Final" Version?
Okay, so Phase 5. Everyone has a Phase 5 story. Mine involves trying to recreate the sound of a broken air conditioner at 3 AM and failing spectacularly. This "Definitive V2" thing popped up, claiming to be the... well, definitive version. After clicking around for what felt like an hour (but was probably 10 minutes), here's my completely unprofessional take.
First off, the visuals. They're brighter? Or maybe just more saturated. The icons look familiar but some have weird little hats now. Why do they have hats? No idea. Don't ask me.
What's Actually New? (Maybe)
Look, I'm not a detective. They added some new sound slots on the side? Or maybe they were always there and I just never noticed. The main thing everyone talks about is the new "bass wobble" thing you get if you drag the purple guy onto the yellow circle... or is it the blue square? Honestly, I forget. You just have to mash things together until something sounds cool.
My friend Dave swears there's a hidden combo that sounds exactly like a dial-up modem. He spent a whole Sunday finding it. I think he needs a hobby.
The green rocket icon is still there. I have a personal vendetta against it. Its sound is like a mosquito trapped in a tin can. But some people love it! My sister uses it in every "song" she makes. We don't talk about music taste anymore.
How Does It Compare to... Whatever?
Compared to the regular Phase 5? It's... more. More sounds, more visual clutter, more potential for making absolute noise garbage (which is half the fun). Is it better than the Phase 5 Remastered? Eh, that one feels smoother. This one feels chunkier. Like comparing filtered tap water to mineral water with bits in it. You prefer one or the other.
If you're coming from something like Sprunki Retake, this will feel simpler. Less drama. Fewer characters having existential crises in the background.
Random Tips That Might Be Wrong
- Try putting the whistle dude (grey hat) on the far left, then add the kick drum. It makes a rhythm that's weirdly good for pacing while thinking.
- Avoid using more than 3 of the high-pitched icons at once unless you want to summon bats. Or give yourself a headache.
- The new "echo" slider (if it's actually new) doesn't do much unless you crank it to max, then everything sounds like it's in a cave. A small, wet cave.
Oh, and they still haven't fixed the thing where if you click too fast the animation glitches. Not that I want them to fix it. It's part of the charm now. Like a scratch on your favorite mug.
Q: Should you play this version?
A: If you're tired of the original Phase 5 and want something that feels "beefed up" but not completely different (looking at you, Pyramixed), yeah, give it a shot. It's free. It loads fast. What's the worst that could happen? You make a 30-second track that sounds like a robot falling down the stairs? That's a success in my book.
Final verdict: 3.5 out of 5 stars. Half a star deducted for the green rocket. Half a star deducted because "definitive" is a strong word for what feels like a mod pack. One star added because I accidentally made a loop that sounded like a lazy river ride and it was weirdly peaceful.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go see if I can actually mimic that dial-up sound. Dave can't be the only one.
