Phase 56: The "Just Right" One
You know how sometimes you want a snack but don't want a full meal? That's Phase 56. It's the between-classes, waiting-for-the-bus, I-have-exactly-7-minutes-to-kill game.
Seriously, I tested this yesterday. Had to wait for my coffee order. Opened Phase 56 on my phone, made a decent sounding loop by the time they called my name. It's that kind of game.
Step-by-Step (But Like, Lazy Steps)
1. Open the game. Don't think about it too much.
2. See that yellow icon that looks like a sun? Click it.
3. Now the blue droplet thing next to it.
4. Listen. Sounds okay? Good. Sounds bad? Try the green leaf instead.
5. Congrats, you're now a Sprunki Phase 56 "composer."
There's maybe 20-30 icons total? I never counted. Enough to feel like you have options, not so many that you spend 10 minutes just scrolling through them.
Weird Discovery
Okay so there's this thing where if you click the robot-looking icon (third row, second from left I think?) and THEN the music note... it makes this weird glitchy sound that my brain finds satisfying. My sister says it sounds "broken." She's wrong.
Actually looking at the screenshots - that fourth one shows exactly what I'm talking about. The robot and music note combo. Try it. Or don't. I'm not your boss.
Personal Pet Peeve
The purple diamond icon. Every time I use it, it throws off my whole mix. Too high-pitched? Too something. I avoid it like that one coworker who always wants to talk about their dream journal.
But maybe YOU'LL love it. Taste is weird like that.
Real Talk: Why Phase 56 Over Others?
Look, Phase 300 is overwhelming. Phase 4 is... fine, but basic. Phase 180 exists (we'll get to that). Phase 56 is where things got interesting but before they got ridiculous.
It's like the third season of a TV show - established the characters, figured out what works, hasn't jumped the shark yet.
Quick Questions I Imagined Someone Asking
Q: Can I make actual good music with this?
A: Define "good." Can you make something that doesn't make your cat run away? Yes. Can you make a Billboard hit? Probably not.
Q: How does it compare to Incredibox?
A: It's like Incredibox's weird cousin who shows up to family gatherings with experimental sound art on their laptop. Less polished, more... interesting?
Q: Best use case?
A: Background noise while working. I swear, certain combos activate my "focus mode" brain. Or maybe I just have audio-triggered ADHD. Who knows.
My Go-To "Recipe" (Don't Call It That)
Clock icon → Cloud → Star → (pause for 2 seconds) → Music note
It makes this ticking-rainy-sparkly thing that sounds like a soundtrack for waiting rooms in space. Or something.
Final Rating
7.5/10
Minus 1 point for the purple diamond.
Minus 0.5 because I wish it had one more row of icons.
Plus 1 because it loaded fast even on my terrible phone.
Actually, you know what? The more I write about it, the more I want to go play it right now. Brb.
...Okay I'm back. Tried a new combo: smiley face, then the fire icon, then the robot. Sounded like a party in a microwave. 10/10 would accidentally create again.
Anyway. Phase 56. It's good. Play it when you're bored. Don't expect life-changing music. Do expect to waste 15 minutes having fun. Fair trade.
