None of the sound effects are electronically generated; they are created by using various items you find laying around the house (a rubber band stretched between two pens, a glass candle holder, a metal skewer, beatboxing with vocals, hitting a pillow, and the list goes on). You manipulate those sounds a little to get the sound e...
