FNF Indie Cross is a massive Friday Night Funkin' crossover mod released in 2021. It brings together three famous indie game characters: Cuphead from Cuphead, Sans from Undertale and Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine. Each character gets a full week with original songs, detailed animations and mechanics inspired by their home games. It is widely regarded as one of the most ambitious FNF mods ever made.

How to Play FNF Indie Cross: Rules and Objectives

Choose a week and battle each character by hitting arrows in time with the music. Unlike many mods, Indie Cross adds attack and dodge mechanics, so you must react to projectiles and hazards while singing.

• Cuphead Week: Rubber-hose animation and attacks inspired by Cuphead's boss fights.
• Sans Week: Undertale-style attacks that you must dodge while hitting notes.
• Bendy Week: Dark, inky visuals and creatures from Bendy and the Ink Machine.
• Dodge and Attack: Extra keys let you dodge or fight back during songs.

Controls and Movement Guide

• Hit Notes: Arrow keys or W, A, S, D.
• Dodge: Usually the Spacebar; the game shows the key when a dodge is needed.
• Attack: Some songs use an extra key shown on screen.
