Sprunki is a fan-made music game inspired by Incredibox, in which players combine animated characters to build layered beats, and Mr Sun is one of its upbeat characters. Sprunki Retake is a reworking of that concept that revisits the cast with sounds and visuals, including horror versions that turn familiar characters dark and distorted. Clips from these horror forms spread through gameplay videos, edits and posts, where fans compare the normal and horror loops together. The Mr Sun horror clip remains popular because that contrast between a sunny character and a sinister sound is recognisable to Sprunki fans.
