Three new free apps: SFX Lab, Sprite Forge and Cover Forge

Vibe Loops has company. Today we’re adding three more free tools to FTV Apps. Like Vibe Loops, they run in your browser with no install, no account and no watermark.

🔊 SFX Lab: sound effects in one click

SFX Lab makes retro sound effects for your games.

1. Press Pickup, Laser, Jump, Explosion, Hit, Power-up or Blip.
2. Not quite right? Press it again, or press 🧬 Mutate for a close variation.
3. Press ⬇ WAV and drop the file into your game.

Every knob is there when you want it: pitch slides, vibrato, square width, filters and bit-crush. Press ⭐ Keep to collect your favourites, and share any sound as a link. Sounds you make are CC0, so you can use them anywhere.

👾 Sprite Forge: pixel art and animation

Sprite Forge is a pixel editor built for game sprites.

• Pencil, fill, line, rectangle and colour picker, plus mirror drawing for symmetrical characters.
• Frames with onion skin and a live preview, so you can see your walk cycle as you draw it.
• Retro palettes, or edit and add your own colours.
• Export a PNG, an animated GIF, or a sprite sheet with Phaser JSON. The one-row strip works with Godot’s frame settings too.

Your work autosaves in your browser, and you can save a project file to keep working later.

💿 Cover Forge: album covers with a retro look

Cover Forge makes synthwave, vaporwave and lo-fi album covers.

Start from a look (Nightwave, Vaporwave, Eden, Lo-fi or Arcade) or press 🎲 Randomize. Then change the neon grid, striped sun, mountains, stars, film grain, scanlines and type. You can also use your own photo as the background.

Download a 3000 × 3000 JPG or PNG for Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, or a 1080px version for Instagram. Share links rebuild your exact design.

We’d love to see what you make with them. Tell us on the forum what tool you’d like next!
