Terrible Sound Design

[Grug]

Has anyone else noticed how terrible the sounds are in this game? I play muted most of the time. It feels like there's no balancing, especially for sounds that have the loop.

Great puzzles and mechanics otherwise.

Is it terrible because it is too loud and doesn't mix in well? Or just the quality of the sounds themselves?

I've been doing my dev on this with the music and sounds turned off just because Steam says I've played this game for over 1,000 hours.

Both the mixing and the sounds. Highlights are any looping sounds like the catfood machine and the hampster cage. A lot of the music tracks are also improperly mixed. I'm listening to one right now where the treble is far too loud. It's the track with the banjo and piano.

The song with the harmonica is also unbearable to listen to.

Yeah, I had to mute the game in its entirety too. Perhaps hiring an audio engineer would help a lot, but not sure if that cost is feasible. There is a lot of stuff off slightly, not just a single thing. Please don't be too discouraged, the game is absolutely a recommendation and I enjoyed my time!
