Pixel SFX - 222 8-bit Sounds

222 retro sound effects for platformers, arcade games and RPGs. Every sound is 8-bit: square, triangle, saw and noise channels, the way old consoles made them.

Free sample

Pixel SFX Free has 30 of these sounds, so you can try them in your game first.

The Python code that synthesises every sound and the demo's C# scripts were written with the help of AI (Anthropic's Claude); no generative audio model, no samples, no recordings. Every sound passes an automated check for clipping, clicks, silence and loudness.
