Most sound effects were generated using BFXR and modified in Audacity, however there are some exceptions:

• Cat meow by Lukey1028 from Freesound.org
• Church bell was modified from a sound by from Freesound.org

Tips

• Bombs will trigger when you step near, but with good technique, can be disarmed and used to your own advantage.
• Throwing blocks downwards gives an upward boost, and can be used to reach higher positions.
• Holding cloud blocks increases your jump height -- they are very light.
