Sprunki Phase Styles Guide: 5 Phases + OC Examples
TL;DR: Sprunki phase styles are visual + auditory themes across the original game and fan mods. The 5 most important for OC creation: Phase 1 (Original cheerful), Phase 2 (Horror), Pyramixed (geometric neon), Retake (vintage retro), Horror (maximum dark). This guide explains each Phase aesthetic and how to design OCs for it — beyond just playing the music.
Google's AI Overview defines sprunki phase styles as "visual and auditory themes across the original game and countless fan-made mods" — true but vague if you want to design an OC for a specific Phase. The play-the-music angle is covered by YouTube; this guide covers the OC creation angle — picking the right Phase style for your character and designing for it.
Quick Reference: 5 Main Sprunki Phase Styles
| Phase | Aesthetic | Palette | OC Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (Original) | Bright cheerful playlist character | Yellow, blue, green, orange | Friendly, energetic, beat-keeping |
| Phase 2 (Horror) | Dark moody nightmare version | Black, dark red, gray | Sinister, hollow eyes, dripping shadow |
| Pyramixed | Geometric pyramid neon | Silver, neon green, purple | Futuristic, angular, glowing |
| Retake | Vintage retro redesign | Orange, brown, cream | Nostalgic 70s-80s music poster |
| Horror | Maximum dark creepy | Deep dark + glowing accents | Twisted, glowing hollow eyes |
These 5 cover the main visual identities. Beyond them, the community has built numbered Phases up to Phase 100+ and meme Phases (Phase 1000000, etc.), but those are mostly auditory mods rather than visual styles distinct from these 5.
What Are Sprunki Phases?
The PAA question "what are sprunki phases" is the foundational one. Sprunki itself is a fan-made modification of Incredibox by Sosso — created originally by Nyanko and expanded by dozens of community modders.
A Phase in Sprunki is a thematic mod version that introduces:
- New character designs (e.g., the Phase 2 Horror version of a Phase 1 character looks redesigned with dark aesthetics)
- New sound design (vocals, beats, atmospheric effects matching the Phase aesthetic)
- New gameplay mechanics in some cases
The naming "Phase 1, Phase 2, etc." is the community's convention for tracking mod versions. Different community artists release Phase mods — some are widely adopted (Phase 2 Horror, Pyramixed, Retake) while others are niche.
Phase 1 (Original Sprunki) — Aesthetic + OC Design
Visual identity: Bright cheerful playlist characters, smooth round head + narrow body silhouette, music note decorations, confident standing pose. Phase 1 is the default Sprunki aesthetic before any "horror mode" toggle.
OC design tips for Phase 1:
- Palette: warm saturated yellows, oranges, blues, greens
- Expression: simple confident smile
- Body decorations: music notes, sun symbols, beat icons
- Pose: standing humanoid, hands free at sides
- Best Archetypes: Sun-like, Tree-like, Custom (all read cheerful well)
The Phase 1 Sprunki OC is what most fans first design. It's the most accessible and the canvas works for almost any character idea.
Phase 2 Horror — Aesthetic + OC Design
Visual identity: Dark moody version of Phase 1 characters with hollow eye sockets, dripping shadow effects, sharp twisted edges, desaturated palette. The "nightmare mode" of Sprunki.
OC design tips for Phase 2(this is the sprunki oc maker phase 2 search target):
- Palette: black, dark red, gray, with limited bright accents
- Expression: hollow black eye sockets, no pupils
- Body details: dripping shadow effects, sharp twisted edges, broken textures
- Pose: still standing humanoid (not floating spirit — keep the playlist character silhouette intact)
- Best Archetypes: Ghost-like, Creature-like, Custom
The Phase 2 Horror Sprunki is one of the most popular OC variations — the dark contrast makes it visually striking. Many fans design paired Phase 1 + Phase 2 versions of the same character.
Pyramixed — Aesthetic + OC Design
Visual identity: Geometric pyramid and triangle accents covering the body, sharp angular shapes, neon glow lines, futuristic high-contrast palette. The most distinctive non-Phase-2 Sprunki mod aesthetic.
OC design tips for Pyramixed (this is the sprunki pyramixed oc maker search target):
- Palette: silver, neon green, purple, blue with strong contrast
- Geometric accents: triangles, pyramids, angular shapes across the body
- Lighting: neon glow lines, screen-style eyes
- Best Archetypes: Robot-like (perfect match), Tree-like (with geometric leaf textures), Custom
The Pyramixed Sprunki OC works great for characters with a tech/digital vibe — fits indie game protagonists, futuristic DJ characters, or sci-fi RP cards.
Retake — Aesthetic + OC Design
Visual identity: Warm vintage retro palette (orange, brown, cream) with redesigned classic Sprunki look. Nostalgic 70s-80s music poster vibe. Retake is a community mod that reimagines Sprunki in a retro aesthetic.
OC design tips for Retake (this is the sprunki retake oc maker search target):
- Palette: orange, brown, cream, mustard yellow
- Style: vintage retro illustration, slightly textured
- Best Archetypes: Sun-like (warm sunset palette), Tree-like (organic warm tones), Custom
The Retake Sprunki OC is less common than Phase 1 or Phase 2 — choosing Retake immediately differentiates your OC. Great for "alternate timeline" fan content or characters meant to feel timeless.
Horror — Aesthetic + OC Design
Visual identity: Maximum dark moody atmosphere with glowing hollow eyes leaking light, twisted asymmetric body, dripping darkness effect. Goes further than Phase 2 — Horror is the most extreme dark variant.
OC design tips for Horror (this is the sprunki horror oc maker search target):
- Palette: extremely dark purples, blacks, with glowing accent colors
- Features: asymmetric monster horns, extra eyes, twisted proportions
- Lighting: glowing hollow eyes leaking light (signature Horror Sprunki cue)
- Best Archetypes: Creature-like (designed for this), Ghost-like, Custom
Horror Sprunki OCs are popular for creepypasta-style fan content and Discord servers focused on dark Sprunki mods. The Horror aesthetic also intersects with the Phase 2 trend.

Sprunki Phase 1 to 10 — Beyond the 5 Main Styles
The sprunki phase 1 to 10 Related search reflects users tracking the numbered Phase progression in the community.
The 5 styles above cover the visual identities that matter for OC creation. The numbered Phase 1-10 mods generally use one of these 5 aesthetics (most early Phases lean Phase 1 or Phase 2, later Phases experiment more):
- Phases 1-3: largely Phase 1 / Phase 2 Horror aesthetics
- Phases 4-7: experimental mod aesthetics, sometimes Pyramixed-like or Retake-like
- Phases 8-10: heavier mod aesthetics, Horror-leaning
- Phase 6 (PAA "how to get phase 6"): typically requires unlocking via Sprunki play progression
- Phase 50+, Phase 100, Phase 999, Phase 1000000+: community meme phases with auditory variations (not new visual aesthetics)
For OC design, picking from the 5 main styles is enough. The numbered Phase progression matters more for audio mod tracking than for character visual design.
What Is the Highest Phase in Sprunki? (PAA)
There's no official cap. Community fans have published Phase 100, Phase 999, Phase 1000000+ as memes — most beyond Phase 20 are auditory remixes rather than distinct visual mods. Phase 100 specifically is sometimes singled out as a "darkness peak" — but visually still in the Horror family.
For OC creators, focus on the 5 main visual identities (Phase 1, Phase 2, Pyramixed, Retake, Horror) instead of chasing numbered Phases. The visual variety is what matters for character design.
Making OCs for Each Phase — Tool Workflow
The Sprunki OC Maker covers all 5 Phase styles in one tool. Workflow:
- Open
/sprunki-oc-maker, sign in - Pick Phase Style dropdown — Phase 1 / Phase 2 Horror / Pyramixed / Retake / Horror

- Add short prompt with Phase-appropriate details (eg
hollow eyes, dripping shadowfor Phase 2) - Generate — full body Sprunki OC in your chosen Phase
The dropdown selection is what locks the aesthetic. Switching Phase styles between generations lets you design paired versions of the same character (eg Phase 1 cheerful + Phase 2 Horror version). See the Sprunki OC Maker AI Guide for deeper AI workflow.
The incredibox sprunki phase styles search reflects users who associate Phase styles with the parent Incredibox mod ecosystem — all 5 styles trace back to the Incredibox + Nyanko Sprunki foundation.
The Bottom Line
Sprunki Phase styles split into 5 main visual identities — Phase 1 cheerful, Phase 2 Horror, Pyramixed geometric, Retake vintage, Horror maximum dark — plus countless numbered Phase mods (1-10, 100, 999, etc.) that mostly reuse these 5 visuals while changing audio.
For OC creation, pick a Phase style first, then design the character within it. The aesthetic dictates palette, expression, body details, and pose conventions. Switching Phases on the same character idea produces strikingly different results.
The Sprunki OC Maker handles all 5 Phase styles natively — switch between them freely. Save your Phase variations to My Creations.
