Game Over sound effects for the moment the last life goes. Sad little falling blips like an old arcade machine, deflated buzzes, and the cheerful cousins that play when you win instead. Mostly retro, with that chunky console sound. Some are bright and cartoony for kids' and mobile games. A good game over stings a bit, without making anyone quit.
Game over sounds work best short and falling. Pitch going down reads as losing almost everywhere, which is why so many retro ones slide downwards. The libraries here cover the other end too, with Success and Reward sounds, so losing and winning can come from the same family. Arcade and casino styles both show up. Keep the game over a little quieter than the win, so losing doesn't feel like a telling off.
