Sprunki Retake

About Kill Sprunkies

In the Sprunki community, there are two sides to every story. Recently, the wholesome "Heal Infected Sprunkies" game took the internet by storm, allowing players to act as a doctor and cure the corrupted cast. But for every cure, there is a poison. Kill Sprunkies (often found on platforms like Castle.xyz) is the dark, direct sequel—or rather, the inversion—of that experience.

Instead of saving the characters from the "Demonic Shift," this fan-made interactive game puts you in the shoes of the aggressor. Often framing the player as a corrupted Wenda or an unseen chaotic force, the goal is simple but brutal: eliminate the Sprunkies using a variety of creative and horrifying tools. This guide covers the dark lore, the "execution" gameplay mechanics, and why this gruesome spin-off has become a viral hit alongside its healing counterpart.

The Lore: Wenda's Rampage

While standard Incredibox mods leave the violence to the imagination, Kill Sprunkies makes it explicit. The game draws heavily from the popular "Wenda Goes Insane" fan theories.

The Inversion Narrative

In "Heal Infected Sprunkies," the narrative is about hope. In Kill Sprunkies, the narrative is about inevitability. The game takes place in a timeline where the "Shift" was not a virus that could be cured, but a deliberate purge.

  • The Protagonist? You play as the villain. In many versions, the cursor is implied to be controlled by Wenda, who has snapped after witnessing the horror of the apocalypse. She decides that "saving" them is impossible, and "freeing" them through death is the only mercy.
  • The Targets: The characters you interact with (Oren, Raddy, Clukr) are often depicted in their "Survivor" states, terrified and waiting for the end.

Gameplay Mechanics: 100 Ways to Die

Kill Sprunkies trades the medical tools of its predecessor for weapons of destruction. It plays like a mix of a "Ragdoll Torture" game and a dark point-and-click adventure.

The Toolkit of Doom

When you select a character, you are presented with a menu of "Interaction" options, similar to the "Cure" menu in the Healing game, but twisted.

  • Melee Attacks: Basic options like "Knife" or "Hammer" that inflict physical damage and trigger specific scream animations.
  • Environmental Hazards: You can drop heavy objects (like the famous Anvil or Safe) on characters like Clukr, referencing his lore death of being crushed.
  • Elemental Damage: Burning, freezing, or electrocuting the sprites to see different "Game Over" states.

The Execution Meter

Just as the Healing game had a "Recovery Bar," this game has a "Life Bar" that you must deplete.

  1. Phase 1 (Fear): The character reacts to your cursor with anxiety.
  2. Phase 2 (Injury): After the first few attacks, the sprite changes to a "Damaged" version (bandages, bruises, bleeding).
  3. Phase 3 (Fatality): Once the bar hits zero, a unique "Death Animation" plays. These are often callbacks to the official horror lore (e.g., Raddy losing his face, Garnold being springlocked).

Character Guide: The Hit List

The game typically features a roster of 5-6 core characters at launch, with updates adding more. Here is the "Hit List" and how they typically meet their end in the game:

Oren (The First Victim)

  • Status: Target
  • Execution Style: Oren is usually the "tutorial" dummy. His death animations are often the most varied, ranging from simple blunt force to being torn apart, referencing the "Unknown" status he often holds in mods.

Clukr (The Crushed)

  • Status: Target
  • Execution Style: The game leans into the meme of Clukr being unlucky. His executions almost always involve gravity—falling objects, collapsing roofs, or the iconic "Hydraulic Press" fatality.

Raddy (The Faceless)

  • Status: Target
  • Execution Style: To kill Raddy, the player often has to inflict specific damage to his head, recreating the "Face Off" look from the Demonic Shift mod.

Wenda (The Hunter becomes the Hunted)

  • Status: Unlockable Target
  • Twist: In some versions of the game, after killing everyone else, you unlock the ability to turn the weapons on Wenda herself, ending the cycle of violence.

Why is it Popular?

The success of Kill Sprunkies is driven by the "Vent" factor.

  • Stress Relief: Much like Kick the Buddy, players use it to blow off steam.
  • Lore Accuracy: Fans appreciate that the death animations often match the canon "Deep Lore" theories about how each Sprunki died in the horror timeline.
  • Contrast: Playing "Heal Infected Sprunkies" and then immediately playing "Kill Sprunkies" creates a jarring, emotional loop that content creators love to showcase in "Good Ending vs. Bad Ending" videos.

Conclusion

Kill Sprunkies is not for the faint of heart. It takes the colorful, rhythmic world of Incredibox and paints it red. While it lacks the musical creativity of the main mods, it offers a dark, interactive playground for fans who are obsessed with the "Horror" aspect of the Sprunki universe. Whether you are there to see the creative animations or to roleplay as the villain of the story, the game delivers exactly what the title promises. Just remember: in this game, the music doesn't save anyone.
