Sound Off!

#1 Newbie mistake: Sound

Sound needs to be subtle, non-pervasive and elegant. If you blast rock or annoying voices upon every click, your user is going to get turned off in a big way. Unless you've made a rock-band game, keep the hard rock out.

Listen to your own music, again...and again...and again. If you can't stand it then people not in love with it REALLY won't love it. If after 2 hours of music you can still stand a sound, go for it.

No chimes, jingles or invasive sounds either! Keep it simple and subtle.
