Check out my super mario bros 3 engine https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/203689206/ The hitboxes suck on this, I know.
The unusual twist is weird. When you die, there is creepy silence, then the game sounds suspiciously normal. Then, you will hear a creepy edited version of the death sound overlapping the cheerful music. The edit makes it sound like a man recording a demon sound not using an anti-noise microphone. UPDATES: -----Just released --NEW TWIST-- Every time you die, the music pitches down by 32.
