About this file
Fifty sound effects in the voice of an old home console: square and pulse waves, a stepped triangle bass and crunchy noise. Fast sweeps stay clean right to the top, with no fizz or grit around them, so they hold up on good headphones as well as on phone speakers.
What is in the pack:
- Jumps (4), coins (4), power-ups (4) and a 1-up
- Lasers (4), explosions (4) and hits (4)
- Select, confirm, cancel and pause for menus
- A game-over jingle and a victory fanfare
- A door, a warp, a dash and a shield, plus 15 blips and chirps for menus, dialogue and scoring
Each sound is its own WAV file (48 kHz, 24-bit, mono), named for what it is, such as 8bit-coin-02.wav. The effects run from about 0.05 to 1.3 seconds and the two jingles about 2 to 3 seconds; 22 seconds of sound in all. A README lists every file with its length and a short description.
Every file starts on its first sample, fades out to true silence, peaks below -1 dBFS (true peak) and is levelled to sit with the rest of the pack, so a coin and an explosion arrive at a matching loudness and you set the mix once.
Use them in platformers, arcade and puzzle games, game-jam builds, retro-styled apps and videos. They load straight into any game engine, audio editor or video editor that reads WAV.
