Game Development - Sound

Sounds needed to develop my game.

Helicopter: There will be a few sounds I'll need for the helicopter
- Blade nosies for flying
- A landing noise for the skids touching the ground
- Machine gun/missile woosh sounds for the helicopters weapons
- An explosion sound for when the helicopter gets destroyed

Other game sounds:
- A "bling" noise for when the people are picked up
- a noise to explain that the landing pad is ready to end a level.

My flash game is going to be a helicopter game where the player controls a helicopter and attempts of pick up targets. It is basically a rescue game to pick people up and then safely land on a heli-pad to finish the level.

Flash game reviews

Game: Carrot (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/carrot.htm) 

Overview: The game is played with just the mouse. You control defend a rabbit as it moves forward along a trail of carrots. The enemies are dogs, they are constantly moving left and right across an area of the playing field. You can click on them and drag them back by a leash to prevent them crossing paths with your rabbit which removes health. There are many dogs and the speeds in which they move varies and increases gradually as you play the game.  The more carrots you collect the more points you get and when you run out of health the game is over.

Review: I liked the game at first but it quickly got boring, the actions are to repetitive and it wasn’t very difficult

Game: Sunny Day Sky (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/sunny.htm)

Overview: This game is a flying game, you need to fly as far as you can to cover more vehicles to earn points and then have a safe landing on top of one of the vehicles.

Review: I really liked the game, it had a fun way of earning points and had a learning curb that was very enjoyable.
