Sound Designer for Premium Mobile Rhythm Game (~10 SFX)

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're building a premium mobile rhythm/guitar game (Guitar Hero–style) and need a cohesive set of ~10 short, punchy sound effects for the core gameplay loop. The game's main audio is real guitar tracks, so the SFX must feel musical, premium, and rock — sitting naturally alongside real guitar, not generic arcade sounds. Sounds needed: Miss / wrong note — a harsh real-guitar mistake (fret buzz / pick scrape), 2-3 variations Multiplier step-up stinger Combo break (deflating) Power-up activation (big, explosive hero moment) Dynamic crowd bed (cheering → murmurs → boos) Song pass + song fail stingers Countdown (3-2-1) A few minimal UI sounds (tap, confirm, back) You're a fit if: your portfolio shows real game / UI sound design (rhythm or mobile game work a big plus). Please share relevant samples. We have a detailed brief ready to share, plus sample song stems so you can match the musical feel. Small, well-defined project with a clear spec — looking for someone who can make these feel expensive and tight.
