Retro game sound set

CC0 — Free for any use

Pickup, jump, hit, power-up, laser, explosion and game over — one coherent chiptune-style kit.

Use it for: game jams, arcade and platformer prototypes, pixel-art games. Each role is chosen from its family (207 variants across 7 roles) by measured attack, tail and brightness, so the set sounds like one product. Swap any role with its alternates if a sound doesn't fit.
