Token count (and assets) ballpark?

Assuming we're basing ourselves on the template cart (so there's some surrounding stuff already), what token counts are like, acceptable? I don't plan on going over 2000, but is 1900 too much or is that fine? (default game is 1442 so I feel like I'm going over)

On that note, I also feel dirty for including 3 sounds, where two are pitch-shifts of the template's jump and the last is a success jingle (based on the pico-8 boot) that I honestly expected would be in the template. I definitely don't wanna be the one doing the elbowing, but I don't know what else to do.

(On the bright side, I avoided adding sprites!)

Don't worry too much about tokens, but definitely try to optimize them. It's best kept under ~500, so 1900 is quite good :)
