Enemy Defeat

How it's made

Source

a cartoon "knock-out" built from three layers: a pitched body that falls like a deflating toy, a soft pop at the instant of impact, and a puff of air as the enemy vanishes.

Body

a sine plus a quieter triangle one octave up (adds a gentle colour), gliding down from ≈ 900 Hz to ≈ 250 Hz in 0.3 s, with a slow 9 Hz wobble of 0.5–4.5 % that makes it feel wobbly and dazed.

Pop

a 25 ms sine drop from 420 Hz to 90 Hz (bubble-pop thump) plus a 4 ms low-passed noise tick.

Poof

pink noise band-passed by a filter that opens then closes (700 → 2500 → 600 Hz) under a 0.3 s swell-and-fade envelope, like air escaping a cushion; it starts 15 ms after the pop.

Envelope

pop and body attack in 2–3 ms (no clicks), the body fades with a curved tail by 0.4 s and a final gate closes the render at about 0.5 s.

Variation

`rng` detunes the start pitch by ±3 % and the wobble phase; macros set pitch, glide depth, poof level and brightness, and the presets move between squeaky, chunky, airy and dizzy outcomes.
