AY in Trauma Wheel! (Sprunki Edition+!) is a high-stakes, luck-based survival simulator featuring a cast of twelve contestants from the Sprunki universe and community favorites. Developed by @Arod2017 and inspired by the "Cardiators" minigame from Mario Party 8, this browser experience challenges players to navigate a merciless wheel of chance where every spin leads to healing, hazards, or elimination. You can join the chaotic elimination show on fortcade.com, where you advance the turns to see which character will be the last one standing.
This project is more than a simple animation; it is an interactive elimination simulator. Rather than controlling characters through levels, you act as the master of ceremonies, triggering the wheel and watching the drama unfold as health bars deplete and contestants vanish from the platform.

Survival of the Luckiest: Trauma Wheel Mechanics
A match begins with 12 contestants, each starting with 20 HP (with a maximum cap of 40). Players take turns stepping onto the central platform to press the large red button. Once the wheel stops, the outcome is final. Because healing and harmless events are common in the early game, matches can be quite long, often exceeding a hundred turns.
The wheel's event pool is diverse, ranging from simple numerical shifts to physical arena hazards:
- Basic Stats: HP Recovery, HP Damage, or "Nothing Happens."
- Status Effects: Red Curses, Green Tokens, or skipping the next turn.
- Environmental Hazards: Barrels, fireballs, falling weights, lightning clouds, and even an appearance by the "Evil Taco."
- Game Flow: Spin Again, Danger Level Increase, or Danger Level Decrease.
Game Controls and Navigation
| Action | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|

Danger Scaling and Match Escalation
To ensure the game eventually reaches a conclusion, @Arod2017 implemented a Danger Level system. Starting at level four and scaling up to ten, this mechanic increases the probability of damaging outcomes as the match progresses. This creates a recognizable arc: early rounds are playful and forgiving, while late-game turns become brutal, with higher damage rolls and more frequent hazards.
The information panel is essential for tracking the chaos. It displays the current turn count, the active danger level, and the HP of the current contestant. Without these metrics, the 200+ turn matches typical of the Sprunki Edition+ would be difficult to follow.
Meet the 12-Character Roster
The game features seven recognizable Sprunki characters alongside five community guest stars. Each character has been given a full suite of custom animations, including walking, jumping, celebration, and elimination poses.
- Sprunki Cast: Oren, Simon, Black, Vineria, Sky, Durple, and Mr. Fun Computer.
- Community Contestants: Kyle, Max, Jett, Tubba Blubba, and Watt.
While every character functions the same mechanically—meaning no one has a hidden statistical advantage—their visual personality adds significant flavor to the experience. Supporting a specific character like Sky or Black is an emotional choice, as you watch them react with despair or delight to the wheel's whims.
