Title:
  Losing sound in Gnobots could scare younger children

Status in GNOME Games:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-games package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When losing a game of gnobots2 (Version 2.22.1.1) the sound of a sharp
  "Aieee!" is heard, as if the shouter was in horror. I think this could
  scare younger children because of the sharp long cry.

  In my opinion, the games in the default installation of Ubuntu should
  be playable at every age, and this cry is needlessly frightening.

  While Robot's gameplay is basically non-violent, I think this sound
  should be replaced with a more comical and harmlass one to avoid kids
  being scared.
