Details
- 100 sounds in 8 folders.
- combo_bell_01 to 12 and combo_pluck_01 to 12 are tuned ladders (C major pentatonic): play the next one for each chained match and a cascade turns into a little melody.
- Sounds ending in _01, _02, _03 are variations: pick one at random each time.
- tile_land is short on purpose, so you can fire one per column when gems fall.
- score_tick is quiet on purpose, so you can repeat it while the score counts up.
Formats and engines
- WAV: 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo (for editing and highest quality).
- OGG Vorbis: small files, ready for Godot, Unity, GameMaker and web.
- Every sound is loudness-matched, starts on its first sample (no dead air) and peaks at or below -1 dBFS.
Works with: Any engine or tool that plays WAV or OGG files. The pack's README names Godot, Unity, GameMaker and web.
