Sprunki Kick the Buddy but with Simon Meal is not a canonical update; it is a high-octane, chaotic fan-made crossover mod that merges the rhythmic horror of Sprunki with the violent sandbox mechanics of Kick the Buddy, filtered through the absurd, glitch-heavy persona of Simon Meal. This mod represents a complete system collapse where the logic of rhythm games and torture simulators collides. In this universe, "Simon Meal" acts as the corrupted conductor—a grotesque, animated food-based entity who forces players to "feed" the Sprunki characters in real-time to generate music. If the feeding rhythm fails, the characters don't just glitch out; they are physically dismantled, dismembered, or "eaten" by the environment. The aesthetic is a nightmarish fusion of colorful pixel art, visceral gore (cartoon-style), and surreal food imagery, creating a tone that oscillates between dark comedy and genuine psychological distress.
The gameplay loop abandons standard drag-and-drop for a "Feeding Ritual" mechanic. You cannot simply place characters on slots; you must actively participate in their destruction to create sound.
The Meal Timer: A central timer labeled "SIMON'S HUNGER" counts down. Players must click/tap specific Sprunki characters to "feed" them Simon Meal items (pizza slices, burgers, blood-pudding) before the timer hits zero.
Success: Feeding triggers a unique musical beat corresponding to the character's scream or squelch sound.
Failure: If the timer runs out, the character is "devoured." They vanish from the stage, leaving behind a pool of static and a permanent loss of that instrument track.
Torture-to-Sound Conversion: Unlike standard Sprunki, violence generates audio. Dragging a character into "Simon's Mouth" (a massive, animated portal at the top of the screen) creates a distorted bass drop.
Overload: Hitting a character too many times causes a "Glitch Spike," temporarily muting all other instruments and triggering a jump scare animation.
The Simon Meal Mechanic: Simon Meal himself appears as a floating, sentient plate. He demands specific combinations. If you feed him the wrong item (e.g., giving a burger to a water-type character), the entire stage shakes, and the music distorts into a harsh, industrial screech.
Survival Mode: There is no "winning." The objective is to keep the "Hunger Meter" below 100% while maintaining a coherent melody. As the song progresses, Simon Meal becomes more aggressive, requiring faster inputs and more violent interactions to sustain the track.
The audio engine in this mod is designed to be visceral and unsettling, blending melodic elements with the sounds of tearing, chewing, and crushing.
Organic Percussion: Drums are replaced by sounds of bones snapping, meat being sliced, and teeth crunching. These sounds are pitch-shifted to match the key of the song, creating a rhythmic but disturbing texture.
Distorted Vocals: Character vocals are processed through a "glottal fry" effect, sounding like they are screaming while choking. High notes are often accompanied by wet, gurgling noises.
Dynamic Gore-Feedback: The volume and distortion of the music react to the intensity of the player's actions. More violence = higher gain, more reverb, and more static. Silence occurs only when a character is fully consumed.
Dissonant Chords: The underlying harmony relies on tritones and minor seconds, creating a constant sense of tension. When the "Hunger Meter" gets critical, the music shifts into a chaotic, atonal free-jazz style, mimicking a system meltdown.
Characters in this mod are twisted versions of the original Sprunki crew, now depicted as victims in a food-themed torture chamber.
Oren (The Meat Shield)
Visuals: Oren is depicted as a bloated, sausage-like figure with exposed ribs. His face is a mask of confusion, with eyes that bulge out when he is fed.
Role: Provides the deep, guttural bass. When "fed," his body expands, and he emits a low-frequency rumble that shakes the screen.
Fate: If over-fed, he bursts into a cloud of confetti and blood particles.
Wenda (The Scream Queen)
Visuals: Wenda has been transformed into a long, noodle-like creature with multiple arms made of spaghetti strands. Her hair is a mess of shredded lettuce.
Role: Handles the high-pitched melodies. Her screams sound like a violin string snapping.
Fate: When consumed, she unravels completely, leaving a pile of raw pasta that slowly dissolves.
Clukr (The Crunch)
Visuals: Clukr is now a chicken-wire cage filled with moving, fleshy parts. His beak is oversized and constantly chomping.
Role: Generates the percussion layer. Every time he chomps, a sharp snare hit is triggered.
Fate: If ignored, he devours himself, leaving an empty shell that rattles ominously.
Brud (The Silent Feast)
Visuals: Brud is a shadowy figure made entirely of stacked plates and cutlery. His face is a blank void, reflecting the chaos around him.
Role: Provides ambient drones and background noise. He is the "glue" that holds the track together.
Fate: If the music stops, he collapses into a pile of silverware, silencing the track permanently.
Simon Meal (The Conductor)
Visuals: A massive, floating entity resembling a giant, anthropomorphic hamburger with glowing red eyes and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. He wears a chef's hat that drips black slime.
Role: The antagonist. He controls the "Hunger Meter" and dictates the pace of the game.
Behavior: He laughs maniacally when the player succeeds and roars when they fail. His presence causes the screen to warp and pixelate.
This mod is dense with meta-commentary on the nature of consumption and digital violence.
The "Full Stomach" Ending: If the player manages to feed Simon Meal enough without breaking the rhythm, the screen goes black, and a message appears: "You are next." The video then loops, implying the player has become the next meal.
Secret Recipes: Certain hidden combinations of characters and food items unlock "Forbidden Tracks"—dark, unreleased songs from the Sprunki lore that were deemed too disturbing for the original game.
Visual Corruption: As the game progresses, the graphics degrade. Textures become blurry, colors invert, and the UI elements start to bleed. This visual decay mirrors the narrative of the world being consumed.
Community Secrets: Players have discovered that certain input sequences can summon "Ghost Characters"—shadowy figures that play their own tracks, adding a layer of mystery to the mod.
Sprunki Kick the Buddy but with Simon Meal is a brutal, hilarious, and deeply unsettling experience that pushes the boundaries of what a browser-based mod can achieve. It transforms the act of making music into a survival horror game, where every note is paid for with the virtual destruction of beloved characters. It is a testament to the creativity and darkness of the fan community, blending two distinct genres into a cohesive, albeit terrifying, whole.
