sounds needed for games

sounds needed for the game , a few basis sounds would be music , two types would be needed basic music for the game, i'm thinking like retro arcaded style music with a sci/fi theme to it ,for the games music  the other music will be for the boss and harder levels and will be more like a chase soundtrack to give you more suspense and intensity to the harder parts of the game,
the other sound effects i will need to focus on are the action sounds such as....
explosions , laser shots , asteroids, when that are traveling at you and also a low heath noise like a heart beat or something , i don't think ambient sound will be needed for this game as it is a flash game and just the basics will be needed '
, .....another thought i had was on my stars screen to have a  more of a heroic up beat audio track with a picture of q ship traveling through space (motion tween on back ground) with a cool looking game title , also i was thinking having a boss enter the intro screen and bite the logo ,

Who are we designing our games for?

Who am I designing my game for?
I believe the target audience for my game would be teenagers, anyone can play a basic flash game will enjoy the game from a young audience to an older age , the way the game will play will be a medium to fast passed arcade game with shooting and dodging being the key elements to the game , there will be a score counter so keep track of your high score and trying to beat your friends, with stylised graphics and a good quick pace to the game I hope that anyone can load the game up quick and start to have fun any were between class or on break or just board at home i think all ages will enjoy. but teenagers 10 - 18 will enjoy it the most i believe.

game idea

my idea for a game is a helicopter flying game, where the helicopter flys along a tunnel that differs in hight and also has objects in its way that the helicopter must dodge to keep from crashing , also there is gravity applied to the game, so not only must you dodge the objects but keep your helicopter flying by always tapping the screen , this is a challenge in its self as flying is harder then you thing plus you must always be on the look out for objects to dodge .

(object of the game )
to fly the longest distance with out crashing,
