FNF: Michael Jackson’s Rose Criminal
About the Game
FNF: Michael Jackson's Rose Criminal is a fan-made mod for Friday Night Funkin' that features a rhythm battle inspired by Michael Jackson's music and performance style. The mod centers around a custom song called "Rose Criminal" and presents a musical showdown against a character based on the appearance and dance movements associated with Michael Jackson.
The project was created by members of the Friday Night Funkin' modding community and is not an official release connected to Michael Jackson's estate.
There are plenty of crossovers between real-life musicians and FNF Games, but this one includes the legend of the musical world and the king of pop, Michael Jackson! You will be helping the boyfriend compete with him in a rhythm game in his songs. This is a pixelated version of Michael Jackson, and you will match the notes in a remix of the song Roses.
🎤 A Rhythm Battle Inspired by the King of Pop
The main attraction of the mod is its custom song, Rose Criminal.
During the battle, you must:
- Match incoming notes
- Maintain your accuracy
- Keep the health bar in your favor
- Follow the song's rhythm patterns
Like most FNF mods, success depends on timing rather than exploration or combat.

Fans of his performances may notice references to:

🎵 What Makes This Mod Stand Out?
Many Friday Night Funkin' mods feature characters from games, cartoons, or internet culture. Rose Criminal takes inspiration from one of the most famous performers in music history.
The combination of rhythm gameplay, dance-themed animation, and a custom soundtrack helped the mod gain attention within the FNF community.
