Now that my virtual pet was pretty much completed, it was time to add the finishing touches, which make all the difference to the final product. I didn't have time to record my own sounds, so I had a look at Flashkit.com to see if they had what I was looking for: fun and catchy sounds which would appeal to young children.
For the buttons, I managed to find and download some "popping" sounds, which play when the mouse is rolled over them. When pressed, they make a fun clicking sound.
I found a simple tune which plays throughout the game. When the user plays the drag and drop game, some jungle-type music plays to fit in with the animals.
The Well Done screen after the game has the sound of children cheering.
