I know Godot lets you point things (cameras for one) at other things in 3d with point_at() or something of the sort.
Maybe that solves your issue?

Those sounds are from Freesound.org, specifically a user called Spidervis, who has a bunch of fun synth-instrument samples on his page.

Also happy to hear that you like the effects, they were a good suggestion!

Did you mean something like this?

That might honestly be a good idea, I'll have to look into it some, since Shaders are a bit of a mystery-zone for me still though.
