Looking for sounds is always one of my favorite part in making a game. People often overlook the importance it has in every aspect of games. I've never really gotten into making my OWN sounds but I really want to attempt it in the future, especially with simplistic game music.
Well said Muximus!
For someone who doesn't make your own sounds, you have a good taste for them! I just died over 50 times trying to get passed those damn spikes and that record scratch kept me going back for more! It was the perfect sound for stopping abruptly and restarting the music. I loved the simplicity of the music too, it showed great restraint which i personally struggle with. Correct me if i'm wrong but did the red runner make a noise before coming on screen too?
If you are looking to make your own sounds there are LOADS of great programs out there! I personally like to use my Reaper, cubase or garageband. I'll either experiment with software synths or record raw sounds with a handheld mic and edit them later.
Also there is a free program called Bfxr that allows you to make custom 8-bit sounds!
Great job!
Thanks for checking it out and the kind words Sean! The record scratch and music stopping was almost an improvisation to fix that fact that I didn't have time to do the art and everything for a death sequence haha. Thanks a ton for the suggestions to! I'll definitely check those out, especially Bfxr, that would have been great for this haha. Also, the Red guy actually doesn't actually have a unique sound when he spawns (although he should!) he does have softer footsteps and an insane yelling sound when he dies haha. Cheers!
