Sprunki began in 2024 as a fan-made mod of the music game Incredibox, first shared on Scratch before spreading to browser sites, YouTube and TikTok. Its cast of cartoon beatboxers each add a different loop, and Oren, the orange character with headphones and antennae, quickly became one of the most recognisable faces. As players posted their mixes online, isolated character loops were clipped and shared separately, letting fans recreate combinations outside the game and use Oren's part in remixes, animations and fan art videos.
