The Game Over Chime
The screen of the Game Boy flickers softly as I press buttons, trying to beat this level. The screen shows a dark cave with a big red ”?” block in the corner. If I bump into it, I know something will happen. My fingers dance over the small keys, making them click under my fingertips. After a few tries, the chime sounds! It’s that sharp, tinny sound that always comes when a level ends. The screen goes blank for a second before showing the next stage. I try to press down quickly, hoping to start right away, but the pause menu pops up instead. I frown and press Select, watching as my saved progress loads. Once it’s done, I pick up where I left off, determined to beat this level faster next time.
