Block Sound Effects

Block sound effects, mostly the kind that stops a hit. Blades clanging off shields, fists meeting a guard and the thud of a parry in close combat. Solid and quick. The other kind is here too: rock and stone knocked, scraped and dropped, which works for placing and breaking blocks in a building game.

A block needs to sound different from a hit, otherwise the player can't tell if they got through. Usually that means harder and shorter, with more metal or wood and less flesh. Combat libraries split these out for you, with shield blocks and Parry sounds sitting alongside the Punch and body hits they stop. Then there's the solid stuff: rock and stone impacts for building games, and retro chip sounds for pixel worlds made of blocks anyway. Footsteps on hard floors turn up too.
