Sprunki Retake Scratch Port Remix: Because Once Wasn't Enough
You know when you really like a song, but then someone makes a remix and you're like "hmm, not sure if this is better or just... different?" That's Sprunki Retake Scratch Port Remix. It's a Sprunki game, but someone went "what if we changed some stuff?" and then actually did it.
First thing I noticed: the colors are brighter. Like, aggressively bright. My eyes had to adjust. It's like the original game drank three energy drinks. There's a neon pink character that I'm pretty sure wasn't in the version I played last month. Or maybe it was and I just forgot. Memory is weird.
What's Actually Different?
Good question. I played this for like 20 minutes trying to figure that out. Some sounds are similar but pitch-shifted. Others are completely new - there's one that sounds like a laser beam from a cheap sci-fi movie, and another that's just... glass breaking? But in a musical way?
The layout is mostly the same. Click characters, they make noises, you try to make them not sound terrible together. The usual. But there's something about the timing that feels off. Or on? I can't tell if it's better or if my brain is just used to the rhythm of the other versions.
My friend Dave (who doesn't even play these games) was over and said "that sounds like the iPhone alarm but happier." High praise from Dave, who usually just complains about my taste in... everything.
If you're coming from other Sprunki games, here's what to expect:
- The blue guy still makes a bass sound, but it's deeper
- The green thing now has reverb? I think?
- There's a yellow character that I swear wasn't there before
- Everything feels slightly faster, or maybe that's just me
I tried to recreate a loop I made in a different version last week. Failed miserably. But what I ended up with wasn't bad - it just wasn't what I intended. Story of my life, really.
Quick "Tutorial" (If You Can Call It That)
Step 1: Open the game. It loads pretty fast, which is nice.
Step 2: Click the character on the left first. The orangey one.
Step 3: Then the one in the middle-top. The blueish-green one.
Step 4: Then just click randomly until something sounds okay.
Step 5: Realize you've been doing this for 10 minutes and your coffee is cold.
There's no real strategy. Or maybe there is and I'm just bad at finding it. I think the point is to just experiment until you stumble on something that doesn't make you want to immediately close the tab.
Random Questions I Had While Playing
Q: Is this better than the original?
A: Define "better." It's different. Some sounds are clearer. Some are more annoying. The colors are definitely more... colorful.
Q: How many versions of this game even exist?
A: At this point, probably hundreds. Every week there's a new "definitive" or "remastered" or "retake" version. It's like Pokémon but for browser music games.
Q: Can I save my mix?
A: No, and honestly that's fine. These things are meant to be temporary. Like a beautiful, annoying sandcastle that gets washed away by the tide of your browser history.
Personal thoughts: It's fine. Not amazing, not terrible. It exists. If you're bored of the usual Sprunki games and want something that feels familiar but slightly off, this is your jam. If you're new to this whole thing, maybe start with a more basic version. This feels like it was made for people who've already clicked their way through the original and need something "new but not too new."
The sun just came out from behind a cloud as I write this, and the light is hitting my screen in a way that makes the colors look even brighter. Almost too bright. I might need to adjust my monitor settings.
Final rating: 3/5. It does what it says on the tin. It's a retake. It's a remix. It's... more Sprunki. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes you just want to click things and hear beeps. Today is one of those sometimes.
Oh, and the title says "Scratch Port" which I think means it was originally made in Scratch? Or ported from Scratch? Or something. The internet is weird. Just play it or don't. Life goes on either way.
